GOING: G

Spry Civil Constructions Handicap (Heat of Sportsbet Skybeau Series) 2000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

No recognised leader so Test The Law could find himself in front. DARKNCONFIDENTIAL (4) is flying and, on the seven-day back-up, he finds another winnable race. He's drawn perfectly, Holder sticks and in this class he carries 54.5kg. He will be hard to beat. ARUGAMAMA (2) is a Stakes performer that is dropping back in class and 100m in distance. She might be hitting peak fitness now. She's drawn low and should get a cosy run. She can fight out the finish. YURI ROYALE (3) is another coming out of stronger races in which he hasn't been disgraced. Doubt he can win but he can easily run in the minor money. LOMAX (6) is a frustrating proposition but leave him out at your peril, while MAGNETIC EDGE (5) can mix his form but is always an each-way hope in these races, especially on his home track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Darknconfidential to win.
