GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.37).  

Good early pace from Russian Roni with High Blue Sea not far away. LITTLE COINTREAU (11) lightly raced gelding racing in career-best form. Made it two wins from four starts this time in when a determined head winner over 1400m at Randwick Kensington two-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks up to this grade from the inside gate and can stalk the good tempo. NAILS MURPHY (13) both wins have come over this trip and back in distance today after struggling to see the mile out when third at Randwick on July 13. Collett sticks and the Norton bit goes on here. Leading player. KAYOBI (1) will relish the 3kg claim today after returning from a let-up with an unlucky eighth over 1200m in the LR Ramornie at Grafton on July 17. Distance suits and a repeat of latest keeps him in the mix. RUSSIAN RONI (5) fitter after two runs back and gets the services of Nash Rawiller. Ran below expectations second-up when a poor ninth over 1400m at Randwick in BM88 grade on July 13. Kept fresh and the firmer track will help. Place prospects look best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,13,1,5.
