GOING: G

Ladbrokes Summer Sprint Series (Heat 6) Handicap 1000m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Speed should be right on over the 1000m journey. MIAMI VICE (2) raced his way into full fitness and made the most of a good ride from 3kg claiming apprentice Erin Molloy when scoring here a fortnight ago. This is no harder and with a senior hoop on this time, he has to carry 6.5kg more. If he copes, he can win again. LORD FENRIR (7) was chasing a hat-trick of wins when finishing midfield here in a far stronger field here nearly 4 weeks ago. He will notice the drop in company here and can resume his winning ways. SHECANMIXIT (4) had plenty left in the tank when winning in a similar grade fresh up here 20 days ago. Her record second-up is not so flash but she gets a chance to improve that stat here. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (1) did not measure up in a couple of runs in Sydney during the spring and has since changed stables. He has a good draw and is in the right stable to make an immediate impact. Can win. EXCEEDINGLY MAGIC (3) will find this easier than her last couple of starts and a return to form is on the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Physical Graffiti each-way.
