GOING: S

KIS Communications 0-64 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Solid tempo set by Bleuet De France and Juice Box. TOPHET (4) resumes from a break. He's a promising type with five starts under his belt, winning his maiden over this route two starts ago before a sound effort at Mornington. Has a bit of upside and can go on to better things this campaign. FRIDGE MONSTER (5) resumes. He's a nice type who has promised a fair bit in six runs to date, fourth in a BM64 at Bendigo before a spell. That was a very strong race and this suits. PANO'S PRIDE (1) won two back at Cranbourne before an even effort up in grade last time. This suits. BOX OFFICE (2) has upside and is worth watching the market. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tophet to win.
