D M PLUMBING TROTTERS STANDING START HANDICAP 2300m

Track: FAST      

TOP OF THE MOMENT (11) is back from campaigning in Queensland and is having his first run from the Kerryann Morris stable. She produced him to win a trial here very easily, and he does drop in grade here. Hard to beat this time. SPEEDY LOVER (1) has been thereabouts all year and will be trying to put a gap on his rivals early with a quick start from the pole position. He will have to be at his very best to beat the top 2 picks, but he is genuine and won't be far away. HANOVER DA MOON (12) has won 4 times on this track over the trip, and he can make light work of his 20m handicap. He is nicely placed at this level, and should go close to taking this out. Stick with him.
