GOING: S(6)

MAI STRATA RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Braidwood Prince leading the way. COUNT NICHOLAS (3) has a win and a placing from two attempts over this course and distance and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to feature in the finish. A couple of key scratchings help and should take some stopping. BOLD AS BRASS (2) looked good saluting over this track and trip last time out and can go right on with the job now. Top-three candidate on that sort of form. RIVA D'AMOR (12) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and gets in light with the claim. In the mix. ROCKY BLONDE (13) draws the inside alley and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,2,12,13.
