GOING: H(10)

ELMAC ELECTRICAL CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1405m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-350m. Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.  

The speedy Badgers Nuts should find the front with Take The Jackpot and Rocky Rogue on his heels. EXTREME MERGER (6) tough gelding who gives his all at every run. Started a solid ($2.50 fav) when travelled wide from the sticky gate to finish a close-up second at Moree over 1200m on April 2. Ready for this distance now and gets all the map favours. ROSSY'S TYPA GIRL (4) holding her form well in stronger company and nice return with the 57kg when an unlucky second over 1250m at Taree on April 2. Looks to have come back well and has good figures this track and trip. NOBLE MISSILE (1) has a fitness edge over most of these and is undefeated on a heavy track. Up in trip when powered late for a sound fourth over 1410m at Grafton on April 14. A repeat here will see him have genuine top-three claims. TAKE THE JACKPOT (2) had mixed luck at the provincials at his last four runs and should appreciate the drop in grade. Sat on the speed and not that far away when seventh over 1350m at Wyong in BM68 company on April 11. Don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,4,1,2.
