GOING: G(4)

YARRAMAN PARK HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95).  

Expecting Gold Revolver to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. GOLD REVOLVER (1) made it two wins from as many runs this prep when he led all the way to win with a bit in hand over 1150m at the Kensington track three weeks ago. Won third-up last prep so around this tight track he will prove very tough to reel in again. NO STATEMENT (2) showed pace but couldn't kick and just missed the placings last start over 1000m at Warwick Farm. Down significantly in class today and his best efforts have come over this trip. Major player. RHYTHMIC PULSE (9) is racing well without winning, last time out missing by a whisker over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Drops 3kgs and this slightly shorter trip is more suitable. STANISLAUS (8) was poor first-up but has trialled well since and can make amends. SMASHING EAGLE (7) resumes. Has won 2/4 when fresh from a spell and his Saturday form last prep stacks up favourably. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gold Revolver to win again.
