GOING: H(10)

XXXX BAT OUT OF HELL - WEIGHTS RAISED 0.5KG 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.22)  

Strong pace with Enuff Pills, Super Daisy and Economics pushing forward, closely attended by The Lucky Alien and Flag Hall. ECONOMICS (8) returned to the winners' stall at Eagle Farm last time out and winning rider Bayliss sticks. Shapes as one of the chief contenders on that form. AVONE (11) strips fitter third-up from the spell and is a two-time winner over this distance range. Top-three credentials. FLAG HALL (9) is one from one over this track and trip and may earn some minor money with luck from the draw. NETTUNO (1) has a bit of class on this field and won't need to improve much to feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,11,9,1.
