GOING: G(4)

Frankston Sand Soil & Mini Mix Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Pace genuine with Lake Gillear and Electric Star pressing hard closely followed by Bold Suitor and Honor Galore. HONOR GALORE (1) looks well placed on best form. The fresh run at Cranbourne was good over the 955m, pitched up in grade last time at Caulfield Heath and struggling in a strong BM74. She comes back a fair way here and maps to sit on the leader's back. ELECTRIC STAR (8) resumes. She's lightly raced and didn't have the best of luck in two runs last time in. Very wary to see early support for the McDonald yard. EXTRAGALACTIC (9) resumes. She broke her maiden at the second time of asking, not bad in a listed race before a break. Respecting. NIGHT FLASH (5) is going okay without winning. He stuck on well last time and maps for every hope here. BOLD SUITOR (2) won his maiden narrowly here last time and could go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Honor Galore to win.
