GOING: H(8)

SCHWEPPES Class 5 Handicap 1200m Track: HVY8 Rain (Max: 18) Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).
Sistine Explorer and Annakuri should lock horns early at a strong clip. LAST CHANCE SALOON (4) is a very consistent conveyance who is yet to miss the top four in nine career outings and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Tuned up for this with a couple of recent trials and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. ADDRIEL (7) has won two from two around this circuit and has placed two from two when first-up. Goes well for Thornton and must be respected from the Neasham camp. Looks a serious player. FIGHTING IDOL (5) didn't measure up in town last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Can bounce right back to form against this lot. SISTINE EXPLORER (9) best of the rest from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Last Chance Saloon to return a winner.
