GOING: G(4)

Happy 40th Birthday Heath 'Nudge' Lambert Handicap (Heat of Sportsbet Viddora Series) 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.46)  

Expecting a genuine tempo with Extinguish setting the tone from an outside draw, joined by Cielao. IMMINANCE (4) bolted in last start and looks a leading contender again. The claim helps, albeit she will need a good ride from the wide draw. Confident she can tick the box at 1200m if things go her way in the run. AFFAIRE VUE (11) is a talented mare that can go through the grades this spring. She's got tactical speed and can settle in the first few from the inside gate. Kayla Crowther looks a good booking for her and suspect she will look the winner at some stage. THE PLASTICS (7) can improve on the last-start effort, where she was solid without the best of luck. MEG'S MAGIC (15) and AREYOUREADYFORIT (2) are worth some thought for wider plays and quaddies. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Imminance each-way.
