BOOK FOR LADBROKES SPORTSMAN LUNCHEON FRIDAY 9 AUGUST BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1560m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 21) Rail: True. (Pent: 5.01). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Papasito to lead. PAPASITO (1) led and deserved the easy Open 3 win at Rockhampton. Has to run out the extra metres under top weight but he's suited at this level. It's hard to risk the potent Stanley-Taylor linkage. SIR GRACE (2) was nudged out this grade at Rockhampton looking to extend the picket fence. Maps for a soft run and is sure to be fancied again. ROC DE RUSSIAN (8) races at peak and has been narrowly beaten twice here as favourite. He's capable of making the finish. 3x winning rider Wiggins is reunited on LUVIN' OUR GRACE (5) and she can fill a minor slot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Papasito.
