GOING: G

CLAP@JC 1200M HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD      

Just a moderate tempo headed by Sky Prophet, The Concentration and Cheer For South. THE CONCENTRATION (3) got the job done two back in narrow fashion before going under as favourite most recently. Avdulla now takes the ride and the sticky gate isn't an issue for him. Can run over the top and return to winning ways. CHEER FOR SOUTH (7) is hard to knock on recent form, bolting in by 2.3L on the All Weather track here 18 days ago. Back onto the turf today but he has placed at this track and trip previously. May need a touch of luck but he rates highly on last start. COMMANDING MISSILE (1) drops back in Class today and looks well placed off the inside barrier. He's turned in a nice trial since his latest effort 35 days ago. His form in this grade is good and he can bounce back. PODIUM (2) is racing in good order and while dropping back in trip is unusual, he's right in the mix if he can run up to recent figures.
