GOING: S

MC POLYTRACK PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +10m Entire.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Brave Move taking charge. SWIFT RULER (1) missed by 1.3L fresh before bolting in as the race favourite over 1300m at this track a fortnight ago. Now third-up into the campaign and the way he finished off shows the rise in trip won't be an issue. Looks set to continue his winning ways. ENCROACHING (2) finished behind Swift Ruler last time out, sitting midfield and just bumping into one better on the day. He gets a weight swing in his favour today however and he should get every chance to turn the tables from a good draw. BRAVE MOVE (3) went back to 1000m last start and may have found them too sharp following a strong debut performance over 1200m. Out to this trip looks a good move now and it wouldn't surprise to see sharp improvement from him. SHE'S A SPLINTER (7) is better than she showed last time out and can feature with no weight on her back. ARABIAN CHARM (10) gets the blinkers on for the first time today and can be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swift Ruler looks the one to beat.

Second run from a spell favourite; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 2.25 len at this track 2yo Swp May 30 over 1300m in soft going defeating Encroaching with 57kg at $3.50. Too good last time out and he can repeat the dose.
