GOING: G(4)

TrailTrekker Floats 0-64 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Bob The Horse heading them off. VERMILLION DRAGON (3) was a dominant winner on debut at Kembla Grange, putting 3.3 lengths on his nearest rival with some big late splits backing up the performance. Fresh for this and 1600m on the big track should suit ideally. NEW SOVEREIGN (2) was a strong winner on debut here over 1400m and will relish the rise to a mile given his breeding. D Lane takes the ride and he should go close. AMANI (5) won here last time and can figure. BOB THE HORSE (1) can give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vermillion Dragon to win.
