GOING: H(10)

THE GIBSON Class 4 Handicap 1110m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +8.5m Entire.  

Code In Time should find the front with Star Rapper and Royal Commodore on his heels. The well-related BRAVEHEART (6) (full to G2 winner King Of Sparta) is a former NSW galloper having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Tuned up for this with two recent trials and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Looks very hard to toss. The consistent STAR RAPPER (7) has only missed a drum once in ten career outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Strips fitter second-up and can make his presence felt. ROYAL COMMODORE (2) gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and will be ready to peak third-up from the break. Top-three aspirations. CODE IN TIME (5) has a handy first-up record and may run a big race while fresh. BEWS (1) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Braveheart to return a winner.
