GOING: S(5)

MARTIN COLLINS AUSTRALIA RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.36)  

Herecomesantorini is expected to lead at a keen tempo. AQUAHOLIC (17) was heavily bet to win here three weeks ago but didn't finish it off. A post-race vet exam revealed a slow recovery. He brought strong and improving form to that and, in lesser grade, deserves another chance. Open the rest. HERECOMESANTORINI (6) is speedy and deserved his Maiden win at Kilcoy. Has a senior hoop aboard today and will be around the mark. PROCYON MISS (15) trialled sharply and resumed with a solid effort at the Gold Coast. She has more to give and will get every chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Aquaholic.
