GOING: G(4)

Ray White Real Estate Handicap (Heat of Festival State Sprint Series) 1050m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

The speedy trio Chosen Blonde, Costless and Babayka can set the pace from the outset. SKINDER (13) is ready to make her return after enjoying a successful time of it last campaign. Only had the two runs last time in, scoring here on both occasions. Has trialled well in the lead up and is drawn favourably with Crowther reuniting. A lot to like. STORM VOYAGER (9) stuck on gamely to only miss by a head last start. Can give another bold sight on the quick turnaround. Don't underestimate. COSTLESS (6) has good early toe and is drawn to advantage towards the inside. Rock-hard fit and should be in this for a long way. ZARACE (10) returns and usually goes well fresh. Is a track and trip winner that can run a cheeky race at long odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Skinder to win.
