GOING: G(4)

LAWRENCE & HANSON Class 1 Handicap 1890m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Gutho, Optimus Maximus and Touchofclass can set up a solid gallop. JENNI MOREESE (2) has been nudged out at Eagle Farm two on her last three with the latest over this distance. She raced favourite in that and draws low again. Finds easier and she's the one they have to beat. MAJESTIC ANGEL (7) has also been racing in town and comes back in trip. Rates well enough to feature. BURLEIGH MAGIC (1) demolished the Maidens here on a heavy track over a mile. Gets Huxtable and can keep improving. Keep onside. SMOKIN MATCH (5) is on a quick backup, and he's in light with the 3kg claim. Maps well but needs to find more to threaten. BONZABELTER (3) won a Maiden well enough at Warwick and has been kept on the fresh side. Has the rail and should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jenni Moreese.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run scored a big 4.5 len win at this track Mdn-Sw March 28 over 1625m in heavy going defeating Maurita carrying 58.5kg at $4.80. The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Ipswich Mdn on March 13 over 1200m, slow going neck behind Window Tapper carrying 59.5kg at $15. Shapes as a chance again.

Dual acceptor. Most recently eased back early on 6th of 10 at Sunshine Coast Bm65 on April 6 over 1800m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Central Park with 54kg at $6.50. The race before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Sunshine Coast Mdn March 23 over 1400m in soft going defeating Zoular carrying 55kg at $10. Disappointing last time and will need to improve sharply.
