GOING:

SEAN COLEMAN PAINTING 1200m

Track: AW     True  

See You In Beijing is the probable leader in the small field. TORONTO (2) was an easy trial winner prior to being sent out as a prohibitive favourite on debut here 3 weeks ago. He hit the line late for third that day and will be dropping back into his rightful maiden class here. The step up from 1000m to 1200m is ideal, and he can set the record straight. Follow your money. SEE YOU IN BEIJING (1) finished second by a short-head on debut at the end of last year, and will be resuming from a spell with a pair of trial wins under his belt. He will be stronger this season and looks to be the main threat to the top pick, if there is going to be one. GOOD CRAIC (4) has been trying to win a race for some time and will have a fitness edge over the top 2 picks. He can secure a cosy run from the pole position and is a must for all combinations. IT'S AMELIA (5) has been freshened up since running on strongly to finish second here just over 7 weeks ago. She is likely to get back over 1200m, but can run into another placing here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toronto should be the one to beat, with See You In Beijing the main threat.
