GOING: G(4)

Fleurieu Milk Company Handicap 1050m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.46)  

Up The Den to set a strong early tempo joined by Schroder's Mistake pushing on from an outside draw. SHADOW EAGLE (8) was a winner at this track last start as the favourite, and has been in solid form with two wins from five attempts this preparation. Can measure up again. MT NISEKO (2) narrow winner by a nose last time out at Morphettville Parks but will have to carry more weight. Expecting to be in the finish. THE MAGISTRATE (9) rolled forward last time and boxed on to finish a nose from the winner at Morphettville Parks. Can feature. FULLY CALCULATED (12) should be poised to run a big race first up from a spell following two recent trials and must be respected. MADAM JEANETTE (16) in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shadow Eagle to go on with it.
