GOING: S(6)

GIBSON GRAZING Maiden Handicap 2000m

Track: HEAVY 9     Rail: Out 2m 600m-300m; True Remainder.  

Bombay Brawler to roll forward and dictate terms. BILPA MOREA (3) went well in Maidens at Eagle Farm and Gatton before a solid enough effort in an Open 3 at Doomben stepping up to this distance. Has a 1.5L claim in easier and hits the race at peak fitness. The one to beat. TRUST A KITTY (4) may have had excuses at Doomben last time. Went well there two back and followed with a 1L defeat at Beaudesert heavily bet. Draws much better and is likely to appreciate the middle distance. DROPS FROM THE SKY (8) did nothing on the poly but wasn't too far off them at Beaudesert prior over a mile. Has a low gate and is in the mix. BOMBAY BRAWLER (7) is on a quick backup and can fill a minor slot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bilpa Morea to win.
