GOING: G

Sky Racing TROBIS Handicap 1300m

Track: AW   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with Cassette probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. CAPTAIN GEORGE (2) has had a couple of tough trips from wide gates in his last 2 starts and will have a nice swing in his draw this time. He was knocking on the door before those efforts and is expected to bounce back and go close to taking this out. NEW ENTERPRISE (6) has only battled over a mile lately and drops back to a trip where he has had his best success. He meets the right sort of field, and a return to form is on the cards. MISS MOOV (7) ruined her chances when making a slow start here nearly 3 weeks ago, and her third at the start prior is the best guide to use. She has the pole position, and with 4kg less to carry, she can bounce straight back into the money. CARAT TIME (3) will be peaking after 3 runs back from a spell. He will find this easier than his last start here and is poised to figure in the top 3 this time. SIGNOR BILL (1) has left a Victorian stable after mixing his form this prep. He makes his local debut with the blinkers off and is worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain George can bounce back into form and add in 1,3,6,7.
