GOING: S

Star Printing 0 - 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.57)  

Genuine tempo with The Mariner leading the way. PROPHET'S CHOICE (8) is busting to win and got to within a half length at Murtoa last time. Peaks today and maps for a soft run. Deserves another chance. WHITSON (4) brings a narrow defeat from Ballarat building on a near miss at Swan Hill. He's suited back to country level and Fry is reunited. He's a threat. JUDGE KELLIE (9) has been proving hard to catch but resumed with a solid effort and she's proven second-up. Maps for a soft on-pace run and she can make the finish. MANCHEGO (2) resumes and has won 2/3 fresh. He's jumped out well and despite the awkward barrier, it won't surprise to see him feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Prophet's Choice.
