GOING: G

RMBL Investments Rising Stars BM58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.89).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Royal Telephone. PERSIAN SPIRIT (4) is a lightly raced type who resumed with a good second place at Warracknabeal despite going under at short odds. Fitter for that and won't find this much harder, if at all. Rates highly. MAMBO DANCER (3) comes through a stronger race when 5th at Sandown-Lakeside, not disgraced there. Drops sharply back in grade here. Good chance. ROYAL TELEPHONE (11) won on heavy ground at Geelong last time and can measure up while SUTADAMU (2) was dominant at Avoca last start and could measure up from the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Persian Spirit to win.
