Back (Win) - #2 PERFECT SCENARIO

Really liked the $5.00 that the TAB put up on open for this horse. His last two starts have been in WFA, where he won one and was 4L 4^th off Levante in the other – Levante was subsequently beaten 1L by Anamoe. He now comes back to an open handicap with only 56kg on his back against far weaker company. His trial since his last run was very quiet and he trucked along on the bridle, it will have his fitness right on track for this assignment. He’ll likely settle back from the draw, which should pan out well given the abundance of early speed in this contest. Still very happy to play at the current price around $4.50 on TAB.
