GOING: G(4)

FOCUS HR Class 3 Plate 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 800m-400m; +4m Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Purezza to take charge ahead of Cavalheiro at a good tempo. DRANG A TANG (1) went close here second-up and is still well shy of his best. Proven third-up and has the inside gate and 2kg claim. Ready to win for an in-form yard. CHARMED PASSAGE (5) is also up to this and third-up should be ready to fire. The 2kg claim is handy and the longer sprint suits. MACHINE HEAD (6) peaks and has been around the mark in the country. Maps well and KWT is a positive jockey engagement. Will race forward and has decent claims. PERFECT MISSION (11) switched from the Neasham barn and needed the first up outing at the Gold Coast. She's proven second-up and her metropolitan form more than stacks up. Maps well and the longer sprint suits. Keep very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY:Going with Drang A Tang.
