GOING: G

Ladbrokes Red Centre Winter Series (Heat 7) Div 1 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Slick tempo with Jamaican Gold to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. GRINZINGER LASS (3) was rather disappointing last start when finishing fourth in a 5-horse field, but that was her first run in nearly a month, and she probably needed it. The drop back from 1400m to 1200m will suit her, and with less time between runs, she can make amends. On top. REVOLUTION RISING (2) will be peaking third up from a spell, and the extra 100m will be in her favour. In form hoop Danielle Hirini will step into the irons, and the pair merits healthy respect at this level. FLORAL CODE (6) has been steadily improving with racing and was a game fifth here nearly a fortnight ago. He has 2kg less to carry this time and is now ready to put his best hoof forward. BOLD TROPIC (1) has been battling in this campaign and will be dropping right down in class here. He has a great chance to return to some form. Include in all combos. JAMAICAN GOLD (4) capped off some solid form with a comfortable win here nearly 2 weeks ago, his first since making the move from South Australia. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grinzinger Lass has a chance to bounce back into winning form here.
