LIFE MEMBER LEN RHODES CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 11)   +5m 800m-400m, +3m Remainder Cutaway Applies  

Very strong early tempo primarily from Baggage Handler and Soo Kiss Me over Grisbi's Pal and Miss Beautiful. MISSOUK (1) returns from a five months spell and has excellent first-up figures. Raced with distinction on the provincial circuit at her last two preps and will relish the drop in grade here with the 3kg claim. Since fitted with a recent trial at Randwick over 740m. Expected to go close. BAGGAGE HANDLER (2) showed a ton of ability last time in and resumes from a six-and-a-half month break. Taken to the front at second outing and never headed when a slick 1.4 len winner over 1065m at Wagga Riverside on December 22. Looked ready to go when a sharp 1000m trial winner at Wagga. Will prove hard to stop from the good gate. SOO KISS ME (4) consistent filly who resumes from a lengthy break. Won her maiden two back before finishing second over 1175m at Albury on January 22. Ran third in a recent 900m trial and the stable has engaged a 3kg apprentice. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,2,4.
