GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Popular SRM BM62 Handicap 1746m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.51)  

Genuine pace with Wunambal taking up the running ahead of Helping Hands and Russian Roni. HIGH TEMPO (3) is racing in fine form of late, a winner of two of her past three, just prevailing narrowly here last time out to get up by a nose. This is a very similar race and she's still an improving type. She maps for a soft run behind the pace and will take plenty of holding out. RUSSIAN RONI (6) doesn't win out of turn but is going quite well, within three lengths of the winner here last time out. He maps ideally and should give a sight. HELPING HANDS (4) is lightly raced in his maiden campaign and should appreciate a rise in trip here. He can push forward and will take beating. STRIKE FIRST (7) won his maiden dominantly at Cranbourne when last seen, finishing dominantly there at his 14th start. Have to respect off that. SUGGESTED PLAY: High Tempo to win.
