GOING: N

Kevin Sharkie Class 1 Handicap 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Plenty of early pace with Go Gurda and Noble Exception leading the charge. GEEGEES CITY BOY (1) has returned further improved and will be fitter again. Has placed here and is on a quick backup. Needs a good ride but is the one to beat. IBUTHO (2) is building nicely and gets Newitt who replaces the apprentice. Comes back 250m but is good enough to manage. POP A HONDA (4) resumes and races well on this synthetic track. Uses the low gate and is good enough. May be presented more forward this time around. ES AND ES (3) resumes and has claims if presented on song. Gives away starts so the rails gate is a niggle. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Geegees City Boy.
