GOING: G(4)

MATT BEHRMANN HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.14).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Sir Lucan. PERVADE (7) two runs back have been sound over unsuitable trips and looks ready to win. Sat on the speed in the soft (7) going when a tiring sixth over 1600m at Gosford on April 10. Home track suits and looks good each way value. Group 1 placegetter GAN TEORAINN (10) looks close to her top now third-up after catching the eye when fourth over 1600m at Gosford. Drop in weight suits from the soft gate. Genuine top-three contender. PREMISE (8) Group 1 placegetter kept fresh for this. Much better effort when a gritty fifth over 1900m at this track in the G3 Epona on March 23. Looks to get every chance again from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,10,8.
