GOING: G

MELBOURNE CUP HERE ON FAMILY DAY 19TH JULY HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

The Coolakin King and Bigdayonit to take it up. CORN COB (1) bounced back to form with a solid performance at Roebourne last start when leading, finishing 1.5L off the winner. That form has worked out well with 2 winners form 3 subsequent starters. Nicely placed here to find the front and will take catching. THE RUSH (4) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when 14th, beaten 7 lengths, over this journey at Belmont Park. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. THE COOLAKIN KING (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 8 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at this track. Worth noting Rocky Cheung goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. IRONCLAD BOY (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. URBAN WARRIOR (8) is third-up here and can't be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Corn Cob can go one better today.
