GOING: S(5)

IRON JACK HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 4m 1000m-380m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.1).  

Not lack of early pace. GREAVES (1) peaks and has been racing well without winning. Ran his best three weeks ago at this track and the longer sprint shouldn't concern him. Carries top weight but presents in easier grade and winning rider Billy Owen is reunited. KAPHANDS (9) is up from Wodonga and is likely to appreciate the longer sprint. Has a low gate and Collett is a key jockey booking. PAPAVER MINER (10) was beaten 1.2L at the Sapphire Coast last time out in stronger than this. He should see out the extra 200m and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUPER RIFF (5) has been disappointing but the local stable can spring a surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Greaves.
