GOING: H(9)

BRISTOL PAINTS PAMBULA CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1007m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m .  

Strong early tempo with Apache Deel and Rained Out leading the way. RIPPANA (3) dug deep to chase down the leader to make it 2/2 to kick start the campaign. Is open to further improvement third-up and the hat-trick looks well within his reach with gun hoop Loy sticking for the sharp Luke Pepper stable. Ominous combination for her rivals. ISCHYROS (2) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start at Bathurst when leading pillar-to-post in a dominant 4L display. Suspect they will be looking to cross from the wide alley and give another bold sight. ARABIAN SOO (8) chased gamely to just miss the winner when resuming here last month. Is sure to have come on with that run under her belt and is drawn to get all the favours. Holds appeal. SELHURST PARK (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rippana can make it three on the trot.
