GOING: G

GILLIES HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD      

Without a recognised leader, The Way We Win and Beauty Missile will likely set the pace. BLING BLING GENIUS (5) missed narrowly two back before a 2.3L defeat most recently over 1400m at this track. Out to the mile again for just the second time and he's drawn to get every chance. Looks the one to beat on the back of his last start effort. BEAUTY MISSILE (1) won two back before a 1.3L defeat last time out, both over the 1800m journey. Coming back to the mile is a little niggle, though he has been freshened and Bowman remains in the irons. Can hold his form and put his best foot forward. GENERAL SMART (6) flew home to just miss over the 1400m journey last time out, beaten in a photo finish. He's had a quiet trial over the mile since then and Purton remains in the saddle. Needs some luck but he'll be hard to hold out if the breaks come. DASHING MAURISON (2) has trialled nicely since his latest effort at Happy valley and is not to be discounted back to this grade.
