GOING: G

Corio Waste Management Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32)  

Strong tempo expected with Stirrup, Climate Change and Hazard A Guess prominent. PEACE BABY (2) found the line well to score last time over slightly further at Geelong. Drawn for a soft run here and looks tough to stop again. CLIMATE CHANGE (10) raced over 1200m at the latest and took up the running but faded late. Back in trip and has the claim. Likely improver this field. CAPITAL LOVER (1) resumes after a long spell and presents fitter for two hit-outs. May want a little further but will be winding up late. EXTREME ALLY (9) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1112m at Kyneton. Will need a good steer but well placed here and can find some form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Peace Baby.

Going well. Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 8 at Mornington Bm64 on April 6 over 1200m, 5 len behind Albertville carrying 52kg at $31.

Has the speed to make the most of a good gate and shouldn't be far away.
