GOING: S

Seymour Toyota Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 12)   Out 12m Entire Circuit  

Pace genuine with Steely Hustler and Infinite Matrix pressing hard closely followed by Raven's Silver and Diamond City. DEMOJO (2) just missed as favourite on debut and belted the Ballarat Maidens by 2.3L on his return. He's showing plenty of promise and fitter is capable of taking the next step. DALHART (1) needs a good ride but brings improving form to peak and the longer sprint should suit. CAPITAL LOVER (3) just missed in a Geelong 58 first-up and is further improved. Has weight relief and maps for a soft run. Can't be ruled out. GALAXY FIELD (8) has had two tidy runs for the new yard and has more up the sleeve. Has an awkward barrier but Childs is a key jockey switch for the apprentice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Demojo.
