GOING: S(6)

Ezy Projects BM68 Handicap 1660m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +10.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.13)  

Solid tempo set by Tambourine Man. Gollan-trained BLAZEN BOOTS (2) quickly found form beaten a whisker over this trip at Eagle Farm as a short quote. He races best here and is sharp third-up. Maps for the run of the race and Lang's 2kg claim benefits in easier grade. Rates to make amends. JUPITUS (6) made good improvement narrowly beaten in a Gold Coast 70 over 1700m. Orman is a key jockey switch, and the gelding has been saved for this. Proven third-up and has more up the sleeve. TAMBOURINE MAN (7) led and just missed at Ipswich over this distance and Callow replaces the apprentice. He's sure to give a sight. SECURITY ADVISOR (8) mixed the form but is capable and maps well. The 2kg claim assists. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Blazen Boots.
