GOING: S(5)

THANKS TO THE KBRC TRACK & GROUND CREW HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

No noted leader on paper so the pace looks moderate. It's hard to go past HIDDEN RUBY (1) in the opener following her impressive 1.3L victory here 21 days ago. She sat off them there and pounced as favourite, winning comfortably and running good time. She only rises 1.5kg and this looks to set up similarly for her. Looks set to bring up back-to-back wins. PRINCESS CHUNK (4) resumes today without a trial, but has been successful when fresh in the past. Chanel Cooper takes the ride and the mare will carry no weight after the claim. Drawn nicely and she adds an element of intrigue into the opening event. ALL ON BLACK (3) dead-heated two back before a disappointing effort over 1623m last time out. He drops right back in trip which is a niggle, though his recent form suggests he's up to being in the finish of a race like this. LAND OF FIRE (5) can be in the finish if he brings his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hidden Ruby is the one to beat in the first.
