GOING: G(4)

bet365 Top Finishes BM56 Handicap 1459m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.16)  

Good early pressure with Lennystar or Ryanman likely to take up the running. HUSTLE (8) hasn't been able to break through of late but hasn't been far away, last seen finishing a two-length fourth over 1400m at Pakenham. Those good recent runs have been in races with more depth than this, so she looks to have the right race. RYANMAN (4) has two placings from four starts this prep and last start finished 2.5 lengths from the winner over 1479m at this track. RAVEN'S SILVER (2) brings a different formline, down from the state's north-east, and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1300m at Wangaratta. Can hit back here. SUPER PARADISE (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 4. Beaten a long way that day, but it was in a Listed race and he was beaten less than four lengths the start prior in the Geelong Classic. Can run a race fresh in this grade. BIT OF SHOOSH (5) will also find this easier than the first run, which was won by Roulette King, who won brilliantly at Sandown on Wednesday. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hustle each-way.
