GOING: G(4)

Vale Ian Fletcher BM62 Handicap 975m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo assured with Simply Luscious, Majestic Maremma and Reward The Sheriff rolling to the front. ANTISOCIAL (3) won well last time out at Kyneton in a BM56, tracking the speed and coming right away to score by 1.75 lengths. This is a bit harder but she looks to be going as well as ever and sets up for a very similar run here. SURPRISATIC (1) is racing consistently well, a winner over this route two back, okay last time when back in a small field at Kerang. He'll likely get back again from the wide gate but will be steaming home. MAXIMILLIUS (2) was better when getting into third last start here. His best is good enough and Riordan going on is a positive. TESORO MIO (7) resumed a narrow winner at Corowa and has been kept fresh. She did beat the very talented Oliveanotherday last preparation and can go on with it now. REWARD THE SHERIFF (4) beat a few rivals here last time out, not sure where he gets to from the tricky draw but he'll run another honest race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Antisocial on top.
