GOING: S(6)

LADBROKES FORM GENIUS OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 6.14)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Hell leading the way. HELL (13) is building up an enviable record winning five of his past six starts including one over this course and distance. Gets a postage stamp on his back with the claim and has the talent to test this line-up. KING KAPA (2) is a three-time winner here on his home circuit and got a confidence-building victory at Doomben last time out. Kept ticking over with a recent trial win and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. COMPELLING TRUTH (6) has placed two from three around this circuit and strips fitter third-up from the break. Can earn some minor money. LOST IN TRANSIT (7) is a last-start victor who draws low and gets some weight relief. Ticks a few boxes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hell to continue the rich vein of form.
