GOING: G

Carbine Club of South Australia Inc. Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1200m-W/Post; +2m Remainder.  

Sir Now is expected to lead at a keen tempo. IMMORTAL BLISS (2) wasn't disgraced two back in Listed company but found it too tough last start in the G2 Tobin Bronze Stakes, where little went to plan after settling near the tail of the field. Worth forgiving, and a significant drop in grade should see him bounce back sharply. OUT OF SQUARE (4) had been flying with back-to-back wins before finding stakes company a bit beyond reach in the Redelva Stakes. Returns to a level where previous form reads well, and boasts a sharp record over this trip. Kept fresh for this and can return to winning ways. SIR NOW (1) has been rock-solid for the Hewitt team this prep. Faces a tough assignment under the big weight but is drawn to advantage and going too good to ignore. TRIPOD TERROR (8) drops back in trip off a 49-day freshen. His form prior stacks right up and he's drawn to get a dream run. Have to consider. MADAM JEANETTE (13) carries similar formlines and is suited dropping back to this trip. Include in all exotic plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Immortal Bliss.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Oakbank 3yo Bm66 on April 19 over 1050m, 1.2 len behind Up The Den with 60kg at $3.40. Before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.7 len at Morphettville Parks Cl2 April 5 over 1000m defeating Been Our Angel carrying 59kg at $1.65. Carries a fitness edge and should be right up for this.
