CASINO FOOD CO-OP CASINO SHOWCASE FLYING OPEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Coat Of Arms and Brave Warrior to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. COAT OF ARMS (3) finished in the minor money at his last four outings and due for a change of luck. Anchored with the 60kg when a fighting head third over 1050m at Toowoomba on May 11. Maps to get the right run again and has the figures to take this out. BRAVE WARRIOR (6) tough gelding with a tidy record resuming from a five-month break. Came to the end of his prep when a narrow second over 1200m at Beaudesert on December 30. Since fitted with a recent 1000m trial win and the claim helps. Genuine contender. TOP BIRD (8) won two in a row before jumping in grade from the outside gate when a tiring eighth over 1100m at Ipswich on April 10. Well drawn and has a good record at this course and distance. Can sneak into the minor money. GALBALAN (7) resuming with a good fresh record and drawn to get the right run. Looked ready to go when second in a recent 900m trial at Beaudesert on May 9. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,6,8,7.
