GOING: G

National Thoroughbreds Week 20-24 Nov BM70 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Harrumph Harrumph. LOVELYCUT (14) looks to have found an ideal race here coming a fair way back in grade. The fresh run at Sandown Hillside with 61.5kg was a great return before probably being outclassed against some talented mares at Caulfield. The winner there was Miraval Rose who has since won well at Group level. Back to a BM70 now and D Lane sticks, there's plenty to like. HARRUMPH HARRUMPH (17) is a lightly raced gelding who stuck on well fresh with 61kg as favourite despite finishing fourth. He's got good ability and should strip much fitter with improvement to come. IMPENDING LINK (6) continues to race well without winning, trying hard at Flemington in a truly run race last time. Drawn well and can break through. DUBAI WATCH (9) is off a let up but has won his past two and has to be respected. FREAK OF NATURE (4) was much better last time and comes under notice now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lovelycut to win.
