GOING: G

Class 3 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 27)    

Solid pace with J S Road finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BLUE LEMON (9) finished fifth, beaten 4 lengths, last time out over 1200m. Has a strong record, scoring at four of eight starts. Expect a bold showing. J S ROAD (8) showed good early pace over 1300m last time and kept going to score by 2.5 lengths. Has the speed to overcome a wide draw. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. COWBOY TANGO (10) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when 11th, beaten 8 lengths, over 1200m. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. GLOBAL POWER (4) finished sixth over 1200m at his most recent appearance on March 9. Can make his presence felt.
