Gold Coast   20 Feb 2019
 
GOING: G

Tab Betting Auditorium (C4) 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Isolated Thunderstorms   Rail: Out 7m 1400-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.49).  

Pace across the barriers and a number are capable of leading. CONNOISSEUR won at Eagle Farm and then was okay there after racing wide in stronger than this. The claimer should find a good spot and the rise in trip shouldn’t worry. IGNITE THE LIGHT also finds easier and go on the CL5 win at Doomben two back. Comes off a trial win with a handy claim and should clear the tricky gate okay. COOL SEQUENCE gets the rail and is back in grade. Is going well enough to fill a spot. ALL SUMMER LONG resumes for the new yard with Lloyd booked and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Connoisseur.
