GOING: G(4)

Kilawi Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m 900m-400m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Beauty Rising leading the way. BEAUTY RISING (8) has been thereabouts in her two runs back and looks ready to peak now third-up. As the only recognised pace in the race, she should get an easy time in front and have plenty left when they straighten. TEARDROP ROTATION (5) had their measure first-up when exploding down the outside to win softly, but with little speed engaged it could be trickier from the draw this time. PEARL ADIOS (4) maps to stalk Beauty Rising from the low draw and has genuine claims on peak figures. Right in the mix. HEADPHONES (7) possesses a sharp turn of foot on her day, and if close enough at the turn she can give them a scare. Worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beauty Rising to win.
