GOING: G(3)

Qld Accounting Group Hcp 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: 0.5m Entire Course. (Pent: 4.84).  

Bagger Chance and Thomas The Tank come over from out wide. Hard Stride, The Storeman and Sporting Page should all be handy. Very strong tempo anticipated and would not be surprised to see Bagger Chance take up the lead. HARD STRIDE returned in good order with a win at this C/D last time out and stays in similar company for this. Gets a much needed 3kg claim for apprentice jockey and if he runs up to last start effort will be hard to beat. There is a lot to like about the recent form of HANDYMAN BOB who has finished runner up in his last two outings. Not beaten far by Hard Stride last start and can turn the tables here. BAGGER CHANCE has won his last two outings and will push forward again today and take plenty of running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taking multiples with 1, 4, 9.
