New Enterprise should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. Interesting race and no shortage of pace engaged, so could well turn into a tactical battle up front. That being said, CAPTAIN GEORGE (2) is capable of sitting off them and winding up when it counts and he looks set to do that here. Should run well off a spell. TWO TIMES TWICE (1) deserves another chance after an ordinary showing last time, and is right in this on his best form. The well-traveled CONNI ISLAND (3) slots into a suitable race today and is capable of getting the prize. BEATIFICATION (4) can burn the candle at both ends and deserves each-way respect. REBELLIOUS HOPE (7) has performed fresh in the past and can run a bold race here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain George looks ready for a bold resuming run.

PHILIP COLE 6YO B/BR GELDING 61.0KG Mrs R I Cole, P M Cole & Ms I E Anderson Useful gelding.

Before that won by 1.5 len at this track Bm54 April 12 over 1300m defeating Whitten with 60.5kg at $3.10. Too bad to be true last time and worth another chance at this level. |
