GOING: G(4)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Good early pressure with Satness or Trafalgar Square likely to take up the running. PEACE OFFICER (1) finally drawn a decent gate and gets weight relief with Stanley's 3kg claim. Comes out of a strong rating contest when seventh to Meridiana and Rotagilla over 1600m at Newcastle in BM78 grade. Norton bit goes on and will prove hard to stop at this level. TAMBELOA (2) returns from a let-up and will find this more to his liking. Huge effort at the big odds when a sound on-pace fourth over 2000m in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes at Randwick on October 25. Fitted with a 1000m trial and shapes as a top-three chance. YABBY PUMP (10) returned excellent closing splits two-back, before disappointing when eighth over 1400m at Newcastle in BM68 class. Key jockey change and expected return to form. Each way. CAPE BYRON (4) chasing his third victory this time in after surging late to score over this trip at Hawkesbury with the 59.5kg. Roper's claim keeps him in the contest despite drawing out. CALLISTEMON (7) far from disgraced first-up and the extra trip is in her favour. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peace Officer each way.
