GOLD COAST POLY   27 Apr 2024
 
GOING: N

TAB WE'RE ON OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo assured with Centaur and Circularity locking horns. JAMAICAN RUMBA (5) is unbeaten from four attempts at this track including a 6.5L success in 1100m Class 5 three starts ago. Has speed to utilise his inside barrier draw and can give a good sight here. GALAXY GENERAL (8) took an inside run when winning on the Sunshine Coast Poly track two starts ago and from a nice draw on the limit weight he's capable of making his presence felt. CIRCULARITY (1) was beaten just over two lengths when 6th of 7 in 1200m Doomben Open Qty last start and that's good enough to give him a genuine chance here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jamaican Rumba to win.

Most recently second last of 7 at Doomben Quality Open on April 13 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Mishani Sniper carrying 56kg at $17. The run before that won by 2.25 len at Dalby Hcp March 2 over 1200m defeating Ned's Gully carrying 57kg at $4. Wasn't beaten far in town last start and the 3kg claim for apprentice Lilli Barr helps offset the 60kg. Genuine contender.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Comes off a 58 day let-up. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 7 at Ipswich Hcp on February 29 over 1350m, slow going 1.2 len behind Don't Stop with 52.5kg at $1.40.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 11 at Eagle Farm Cg&E Bm78 on March 23 over 1200m, 8 len behind Ovidius with 57.5kg at $13. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Gold Coast Bm78 on March 9 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Bring Me Kash with 57.5kg at $12. Has an unblemished record at this track and from the inside draw he can certainly make his presence felt again.
