GOING: H(8)

SAJC Membership Available June 27 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +2m 1200-600, true remainder. (Pent: 7.20)  

Expecting a strong gallop with The Stalker and Jacks On Ice taking up the running over From The Block. FROM THE BLOCK (10) is yet to break through this prep but is knocking on the door, just missing the bob last time. Tackles a very similar field fourth-up and gets some weight off. Ready. METRICAL (6) was left with far too much to do last start when rattling home to miss by a head. Will be looking to take closer order this time but does meet them worse at the weights. GINGER SINNER (4) is going better than his form reads and doesn't need to improve much here to play a major role. Will be hoping they roll along in front so he can launch late. BOUNCING BEYOND (7) is ticking along nicely and is drawn much kinder for Holder this time. In the mix. INVERTATIONAL (9) is in career-best touch and deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: From The Block to win.
