Flemington   30 Mar 2024
 
GOING: G(3)

HKJC x World Pool Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine pace with Rheinberg taking up the running ahead of Golden Path and Deekay. RHEINBERG (2) is a progressive horse who was beaten a nose first-up at Ballarat by an in-form horse over 1100m. He's got a strong record and profiles as a horse who can continue his progression through the grades. DASHING (3) was rock solid first-up at Moonee Valley with the all-important Johnny Rocker form. Much better suited to 1400m and maps ideally here. FORTUNATE KISS (8) ran well in the G3 Tressady here last time. Likely to get a long way back but with a back to follow she'll be hard to hold out. GOLDEN PATH (9) has always promised a bit and is suited kicking off over this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Rheinberg & Dashing.
