RJC GOLD CLUB LAUNCHES 14 JUNE Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +4.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.77)  

Miss Rinehart has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. Clinton-Taylor-trained SPELLMASTER (4) switched from a Victorian barn and was much too good for the Maidens here first up. Strips fitter and Stanley sticks aboard. Well-bred, and he should be winning again. ROARING SUCCESS (5) is a former Victorian who showed more like his best when narrowly beaten on the Sunshine Coast Poly. He's been freshened and gets in well with the 2kg claim. His best would have him in the finish. HVARDANCE (6) has won two of her last three for the new stable. This is tougher, but she is going well enough to make the finish. OUTWITTED (3) resumes with Butler engaged. Usually needs a run, but can get some minor cash in this lineup. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to risk Spellmaster.
