GOING: S(5)

Blue Gum Farm - The Proven Source BM56 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Persuasive Star leading the way. Competitive. ICHIBERU (8) improved again when just missing over 1200m at Cranbourne. Raced forward, and she draws inside again. Is well-placed to go one better. WHERE'S MY SOCK (9) stepped up to this trip at Ararat and led and spaced the Maiden by 2L. Maps for a soft run and has more upside than most of these. Has winning claims again. AMRAAM (7) improved placing at Kilmore and prepared to forgive his latest at Kilmore. Has an in-form hoop aboard today and hits this race at peak. BIG STAR (12) has been racing in stronger since her deserved Maiden win. Needs a good ride, but no surprise to see her improve in this line-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Ichiberu.
