GOING: S(7)

XXXX GOLD CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1600m Track: SOFT6 Clear (Max: 15) Rail: Out 5m 1100m-450m. True Remainder. (Pent: 6.07).
Takeover Artist has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. TAKEOVER ARTIST (3) improving gelding who got off the mark at start six with a strong 1.4 len victory over this course and distance on May 30. Claim helps again and finds a fairly weak Class 1. Go close. FIFTH FORCE (2) another progressive gelding who shed his maiden status at start seven when a tough on-pace winner over 1600m at Kembla Grange on June 4. Backs-up quickly and has the speed to get across from the wide gate. TWIN TURBO (4) trained on the track and tired late when returning from a let-up with a plugging second here over 1600m on May 23. Sure to be in this for a long way. VICTORY ROLL (5) shed his maiden status at start five when a tough winner over 1600m at Wagga on May 31. This is much tougher but not without top-four claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,4,5.
