GOING: G

$1.5m Jewel Raceday 16/3-Bm65 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Isolated Thunderstorms   Rail: Out 7m 1400-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.49).  

Pork And Beans can lead from the rail from Warface. EIGHT OVER was on speed FU and won the CL2 by a space. He has more to give and with the 3kg claim gets the chance to repeat. PORK AND BEANS led and impressed winning the CL1 FU. Uses the rail and with the handy claim looks good enough to go on. SPEEDGUN peaks and deserved the Ipswich Maiden win. Expect that to stack up. Il RICCIO resumes for Gollan and is up to this at best. Brings two trials but needs a good ride. ARISTOGRATS resumes off a trial win with Lloyd booked. Has come up favourite and has to go in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Eight Over.
