GOING: F

Shamrock Sprint 1300m

Track: WET FAST   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Small field but a good tempo is expected with Kessler, Galaxy General and Bruno Bruno pressing on. BRUNO BRUNO (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success over 1300m at this track eight days ago, getting home by 1.5 lengths. Unbeaten in three starts this course and distance and off the inside will either lead or sit second. Looks the one to beat. KESSLER (4) showed good early speed from the inside draw and gave a sight to place this course and distance latest. Take catching again. RHESUS (5) wound up strongly to miss a lip here last time. Going well and looks tough to hold out again. ATLANTIC OCEAN (1) ran a much-improved race here last start to finish second. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Bruno Bruno.
