GOING: G(4)

NUTURF OPEN Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.58)  

Hellish to take charge ahead of Just Super at a strong tempo. HELLISH (3) resumes and has won five on the trot. Won a recent trial here comfortably over 900m and jumps from the inside barrier. Tumbles in weight in this grade and it's hard to risk the potent Stanley-Taylor linkage. JUST SUPER (5) was solid first-up for the Walsh yard and has switched to the Sigvart establishment on a 42-day return. Maps well and gets in light with the 3kg claim. Flies first-up and at this course/distance. LEADERSHIP SPILL (4) has been racing well without winning. Carries 4.5kg less and can't be ruled out. Ditto KING JESTER (2) who is racing well and should get favours in the run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hellish
