GOING: G

Mickey Bourkes Koroit Hotel BM62 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 4.98)  

Solid tempo with Elonia to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Tough finish. BARDIA'S DREAM (4) resumes. Her form last time in was rock solid, winning her maiden comfortably fresh at Pakenham Synthetic and measuring up in some handy races thereafter. She's open to further improvement this time in and looks a key chance. LONGTIMEDREAMING (1) was much better second up here off a mediocre return and has claims off that. SURPRISATIC (2) comes here chasing a hat-trick after wins at Werribee and Kerang. Is charging through his grades this campaign and finds another race where he can keep on going through them. KILCARN (13) won her maiden at the second time of asking, scoring narrowly at Colac. This is harder but she could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Bardia's Dream.
