GOING: H(9)

LADBROKES RACING CLUB OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Genuine tempo anticipated. Reliable mare CHINNY BOOM (4) has two wins and two minor placings in strong races from four starts this campaign. Scored last start by 0.8 lengths at Gold Coast over 1100m after being up on the pace all the way. Her strike rate is impressive. Take beating. ASTERO (2) heads north after returning from a spell last start with a strong win by a head over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Draws nicely and races well second up so is among the leading chances. RUSSIAN ALLIANCE (13) chased well for third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1100m at Gold Coast. Won her lone second up attempt so can improve. NORTHERN EXPRESS (8) is racing well and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chinny Boom has a class edge. Backing to win.
