GOING: G(3)

Taylors Palace After The Last 0 - 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good34   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43)  

Not a great deal of early speed and Our Sassy Lady may be the one that takes it up. GARFIELD (1) could not have hoped to strike a more winnable race than what he finds here. Was placed first-up and while he didn't fire a shot last start, that was up to 62 grade and he drops back to a very modest 56 here. With the fitness gain from those runs and nice middle barrier here, he deserves to be considered the testing material. Very even bunch, the rest, and SOLAR MIST (7) showed something of a return to form last start and might be able to springboard off that. The big negative for him is the wide gate. Conversely, FASHION FIGHTER (5) draws the pole, which presents the chance to race in a forward spot, which is what he done when he placed at Colac three back. OUR SASSY LADY (6) is over from SA and while she doesn't make a habit of winning she's run well in better races than this previous and might be ready to show something after two runs back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Garfield to win.
