GOING: G

#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 66 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 33)    

Dondoyaki to take charge ahead of Commander Of All at a good tempo. DONDOYAKI (1) is in career best form with a maiden win here two back before a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1450m at this track. Looks hard to beat again. FALCONFLY (2) broke through for her maiden win over 1450m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she is one of the main chances. SHEETS AND GOGGLES (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth. Finds the right race this time and can take this out. COMMANDER OF ALL (9) produced a better run last start, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
