GOING: G

C & R WINTER REWARDS HANDICAP TROT 2400m

Track: GOOD      

LIL WHIP (5) made it two wins from her last three runs a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 4 metres over 2700m at Ascot Park Raceway. Hard to beat again. OUR PINOCCHIO (6) scored at Wyndham Raceway two runs ago before finishing a game second at his latest appearance over 2400m at this track, beaten 2.75 metres. Stepping up a level this time, but on his best form, he is good enough to take this out. EMILY (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m. Genuine threat. MIXED FAITH (1) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2400m at this track last time out.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m second behind Lil Whip at Ascot Park Raceway over 2700m last start. Before that was beaten 2.75 metres third at this track over 2400m in 3yo+ on June 26. Starts from a good draw and shapes as one to consider.
