GOING: S(5)

CORNERSTONE RISK GROUP OPEN Handicap 1615m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: True Entire Course..  

The pace looks very strong with plenty of speed engaged. TRICKY BEANS (2) has hit a purple patch of form of late with a win and three placings from his past four outings. Has won over this course and distance and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Has the ability to mix it with them. DULCET (3) got a well-deserved victory at Thangool last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Should prove hard to stop. GENERAL WOLFFE (8) doesn't win out of turn but has remarkably hit the top-five in 21 of his past 22 starts and is a must for the multiples. BRANDS (6) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be forgotten. FOR VALOUR (1) next in line with Butler in the irons. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Tricky Beans.
