GOING: G(4)

Fore Design & Flex Planning Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 1200m Chute, +5.5m Remainder.  

Expecting a modest tempo established by Fluttering Ruby who can cross from the outside draw. DAMELLI (12) owned a barnstorming win at headquarters to launch into this prep. Hasn't quite gone on with it but gets in low at the weights and should relish the 1200m. Bold showing anticipated. PURFECT LINE (3) was slightly disappointing when resuming but should come on with that run under his belt and does boast a strong second-up record. Drawn well and can give this a big shake if presented on song. FLUTTERING RUBY (1) has enjoyed a successful start to her career and went better than the form suggests last start. Drawn poorly but has Milnes to pilot again. Don't dismiss. NARALINGA (2) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door and should enjoy a beautiful run in-transit from the low draw. Kept fresh and can play a major role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Damelli to win.
