GOING: S(5)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Cracking tempo with Castle Road and Tycoon Harry leading the way. ROLLING RULER (5) continued to build on his impressive record with a 0.4L victory in easier company last time out. He drops back to the 1000m journey today, but he maps for a lovely run close to the speed. Rates highly on his latest performance and he can bring up back-to-back wins. CASTLE ROAD (3) led them up fresh when a $3.90 chance in a stronger race but couldn't sustain the effort. The form out of that has worked out well and Martinan's 3kg claim comes in handy here. Can find the front and prove tough to run down with his added fitness. WHO'S BENT (7) is a nice gelding on the way up, sitting handy and winning by 1.2 at Ascot. Watson replaces the apprentice hoop here and he has the speed to offset the sticky draw. Can repeat the dose without surprising. PINGERS (8) flew home to win last start in a strong performance and can repeat the dose with no weight on her back. TYCOON HARRY (1) can be in the finish following a good win last time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rolling Ruler can go on with the job.
