GOING: S

Book Jericho Thru Langley's BM70 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Prince Sonic and Mount Olympus to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. FLYING FIZZ (11) resumes. She's drawn very wide but showed good talent in her maiden campaign, winning on debut here before two strong efforts in town, running 2nd to the smart Miraval Rose at listed level before a spell. Can prove too good for thee. KEITEL (3) is a nice type who drops in grade from a narrow defeat at BM78 level at Terang. Has a good record and looks well placed here. CALICO JACK (7) was solid first up at Caulfield Heath when beaten 1.5 lengths. Fitter and better suited this trip. MOUNT OLYMPUS (14) has been good in two runs back and must be a strong chance again. BON'S YOUR BACK (2) is better placed here and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Fizz on top.
