GOING: G(4)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.11).  

Should be a good battle early on with a few rolling forward. ATMOSPHERIC ROCK (2) smart gelding who races best fresh. Nice return with the 62kg when a dominant winner over 1100m here in Highway company on August 24. Well drawn and looks hard to stop again in this slightly tougher contest. MELODY AGAIN (4) kept fresh when jumping in grade for a tenacious third over 1200m here in BM78 grade on August 24. Drawn out, but a repeat showing will see her play a leading role. LISZTOMANIA (5) fourth-up for this and needs everything to go right in his races with his get back racing pattern. Returned good figures late when a fast finishing third over 1300m at Rosehill on August 17. Expecting J Mac to weave his magic here. CARRIBEAN KING (10) attacked the line late on resumption when second over 1000m at this track on August 10. Clearly come back well and gets the winkers added for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Atmospheric Rock to win.
