GOING: G

Become A Member Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Jenadar leading from Merseyside and Point Loma. ANKLE ROLEX (1) only battled at Tennant Creek fresh up after resenting the kickback off the dusty track there that day. He has a strong record on the more settled surface here and should be hard to hold out. POINT LOMA (8) has been thereabouts all year and is heading the right way with his form in his last couple of starts. He has a good draw and is another with solid each-way claims in an even first race. GALACTIC FURY (6) had been battling to find his best in South Australia and has since joined the powerful local Gary Clarke stable. He has good results with similar types, and a change of scenery can give these older geldings a new lease of life. Use the market as your guide. KESSLER (7) ran on too late last start and will probably have to settle back again from a wide gate. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ankle Rolex to win.
