GOING: G

Protect Fire Handicap 1450m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.12)  

Good early pressure with Hells Son or Bodhisattva likely to take up the running. BODHISATTVA (1) resumes on the back of a trial and a jump-out. Has had seven goes at the trip for a win and five minors so you'd expect being in the finish again. TRUE PROPHET (6) was close-up two back then eased out of it last time and never came n. Much better than that and worth another try. HELLS SON (2) is coming off a run over 1100m and out in journey again will sit close to the lead. Can give a sight at odds. SUAGR AND SWEET (4) has missed the frame the last two but put together back to back placings prior to that. Mixes form but major player on best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bodhisattva looks well placed fresh.
