Bunbury 30 Jun 2024

GOING: S(5)

MANGLES CORNER STORE HANDICAP 2000m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 16) Rail: True. (Pent: 7.1).
Storm Lord to take charge ahead of Big Swoop at a good tempo. BIG SWOOP (5) has been knocking on the door for a while now, finishing 1.8L off the winner as favourite last time out at Bunbury. Can be prominent from the draw once again and back to 2000m isn't an issue. He's right on the cusp of victory and this looks a great chance for him to get back to winning ways. QUEEN OF JERUSALEM (2) went around in a strong race at Belmont last time out and should appreciate getting back to this easier level. He can sit a little closer than recent efforts and the booking of CJP suggests he may not be going as bad as recent performances say. Can turn his form right around. SEE YA CHAMP (3) ran over the top to win by 0.7L at Bunbury last time out, posting a strong rating in the process. The rise in weight is a niggle, but he was strong to the line last start and it wouldn't surprise to see him go back-to-back. WEIGHTMAN (11) should be fitter again now and won't be far away. HEAPS OF MOOLAH (7) may appreciate the drop in grade and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Swoop can capitalise on his run of recent form.
