#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 72 HANDICAP 2400m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Rainy Season, Flag Bearer and Pomozelous to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. RAINY SEASON (6) is having his peak run today after having finished second of 10 here last start and should be cherry-ripe. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back. NUCLEAR FORCE (3) won a game race over this distance on the Classic course last start. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. FLAG BEARER (2) has finished third in his last two starts. He finished 0.75 lengths behind the top choice in his penultimate run. Each-way chance. CARTAGENA (5) is a winner of her last two starts. She steps up to 2400m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer can bring up the hat-trick.
