GOING: H(10)

OTAGO PAINTING SOLUTIONS 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     Out 3m from 950-350m Remainder True  

Reasonable tempo with Where's Wally probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. STROBE LIGHT (7) has come into his own since racing on genuine heavy tracks, winning his last 2 starts on the bounce. This slow-maturing 5YO gelding will relish the 5kg drop in weight, and he is good enough to make it a hat-trick of wins here. TARAMEA LAD (8) dropped in grade, and made the most of a cool ride to score very easily here 4 weeks ago over 2200m 4 weeks ago. The drop back to 1600m won't be an issue if the track is as heavy as they expect, so stick with him now that he has his confidence back. CALL ME AL (9) will be peaking third up, and he has won all of his 3 races at this trip. He is very capable when fit, and he can provide some each-way value in this. GENERATION JOY (4) made up ground here 4 weeks ago, and she can settle in a more handy position this time from a superior gate. Stick with her for all top 4 combos. THE HANGOVER (1) was doing his best work late here 4 weeks ago over 1400m, and he will appreciate the extra 200m on offer in this. Include to be safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Call Me Al each way.
