GOING: G

bet365 Kyneton Cup Nov 6 Handicap 1856m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.1).  

No place for the faint-hearted with Portobello Road and Fiftysevenyears expected to be getting along early. FIVE RINGS (1) resumed with a pleasing effort at Bendigo where he got back and made some late ground. The rise in trip is a plus and a forward showing is expected second-up. PRINCESS TOSEN (2) scored at Warrnambool in March then was a little plain here last time after leading. Gets a senior rider on board this time and can bounce back. COUNTESS JENNI (3) scored here two starts back then wasn't disgraced at Cranbourne last time. Gets Declan Bates back aboard and a forward showing is on the cards. INORDINATE (6) can mix his form up but showed he is close to another win with a solid effort here last time. Drops in weight and cannot be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Five Rings to win.
