GOING: G(3)

TWIN HILLS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace from Shammy Express, Deekaygeebee and King Czar ahead of Carbrook. WRITTEN BY LUCY (5) pressed forward at Nowra and fought on bravely to be beaten only a head over this trip. Has enough early dash to get handy again and can get the job done. KING CZAR (8) resumes for the Stubbs yard and ended his last prep with two strong runs. Jump-outs have him forward enough and he commands plenty of respect fresh. HELLBERG (2) wasn’t quite at his best at Wodonga last time but is drawn well and can prove hard to run down. DEEKAYGEEBEE (6) has mixed form but his Wagga placing two back reads well. Capable of better. ROCCO LINI (3) chased gamely into third at Nowra first-up. Strips fitter, gets in well with the claim and should be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Written By Lucy but wary of King Czar.

Racing well recently. Last start tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at Nowra Ctry Cl1 on September 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; head behind The Main Event with 56kg at $6. Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at Gundagai Ctry Mdn-Sw September 7 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Sacred Inferno with 57kg at $4.20. Doesn't have to improve much to get the verdict.

Mixing his form but is a genuine threat if he brings his A-game.
