Carnival Tickets On Sale Now BM65 Handicap 1609m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 6m 1000m-W/Post; Out 1.5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.38).  

Mooloolaba can lead the way over Monastery. MOOLOOLABA (2) has won his last two here this grade/trip and spaced them the latest. He carries 3kg more but will settle forward again and the in-form Butler will give him every chance to repeat. JOE'S GIGGLE (6) won at Bowen as expected in easier grade. The mile shouldn't bother and he tumbles in weight. On a quick back-up and has to be considered. MONASTERY (4) has been busting to win and may have had excuses last time. Kept on the fresh side and a bounce is likely. COOLMEANS (3) won the 58 here two back and maps for a soft run. He's sure to be around the mark. SACRED LEGACY (7) was going well before the latest and from a handy gate is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mooloolaba.
