GOING: G(4)

THE AGENCY REAL ESTATE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.18).  

Slick early tempo with Raikoke going forward. MORAVIA (3) snagged back early when resuming before pinching ground along the inside when a fast finishing ninth over 1000m in the G3 Concorde Stakes at this track on September 7. Gets the services of J Mac today and will appreciate the extra trip in this easier affair. ATMOSPHERIC ROCK (14) returned in good order in easier company and won't know himself with just 53kg on his back. Will sit off the hot tempo and no surprise to see him finish over the top of these. KIBOU (2) has come back much stronger over the shorter trips this time in and a win looks imminent. Gets the blinkers added for the first time and has genuine top-three claims. The chances don't end there. BATTLETON (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,14,2,8.
