GOING: S(5)

Bowen Tyre & Mechanical BM55 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Prideofthebigfish to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MADAM BORODINA (3) had been improving with racing and that culminated with a solid Home Hill win last time out. Will have taken a stack of confidence from that victory and can go back-to-back against this line-up. MELO MELO KAVA (2) has been thereabouts in both runs since joining the new stable and will be ready to peak now third-up. Should be right there at the business end. PRIDEOFTHEBIGFISH (4) was an impressive winner at the latest effort and jockey Sewell sticks in the irons. Top-three aspirations. Former NSW galloper SOUTH BULLAWAY (5) is having his first run for the new yard and any market support must be respected. MISHANI AMORE (6) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Madam Borodina.
