GOING: S(5)

SPRING CARNIVAL BOOK NOW Class 5 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Expecting Porky to take up the running with Flashing Steel and Cranky Harry close at hand. CRANKY HARRY (1) is racing in a rich vein of form of late winning three of his past five and strikes a winnable contest here. Is two from three over this mile journey and gets Orman back in the saddle. Should be right there at the business end. SEBRING GIRL (2) broke through for a well-deserved victory at the latest effort and gets some weight off from the inside marble. Rates a serious threat. CENTRESTONE (4) has won around this circuit and must be respected from the Waller barn. Top-three contender on best form. BLAZEN BOOTS (5) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SATAY CHICKEN (9) best of the rest in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cranky Harry to win.
