GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Sports Bar 0 - 62 1220m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 9m 1200m-W/Post; Out 6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.56).  

Plenty of early pace with I'm Keefe and Espur vying for the lead. I'M KEEFE (6) disappointed two-back but the form around that reads well. Missed 1L heavily bet at Hobart last time. Drops back 230m but he will lead or box-seat and will get every chance to make amends. GEEGEES CITY BOY (5) resumed further improved narrowly missing over 1100m. The extra metres suit and fitter he should be right in it. MANDATE (7) had been tracking well before disappointing last time. Keeps the 3kg claim and a better effort is likely. ESPUR (11) deserved the Maiden win and may go on with it now. POWER MAGNUM (8) is also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to I'm Keefe.
