GOING: S(6)

PELICAN MOTORS SERVICE CENTRE Class 4 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

Admitted and Click Click Boom should set a strong tempo. It's hard to knock the form of ROYAL COMMODORE (1) who has two wins and a second from three outings this campaign and is racing high on confidence of late. Gets some well-needed weight relief with the 2kg claim and looks the one they all have to run down. CLICK CLICK BOOM (3) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and will strip fitter second-up from the break. Rates a leading contender. MISSILE ONE (5) has a win and a second from three second-up efforts and must be respected out of the Bruce yard. In the mix. ADMITTED (2) was a touch disappointing at the latest run but the form prior was good enough for a race of this calibre. Can bounce back without surprising. The well-related HEART AND SPIRIT (6) (full to G1 winner Jonker) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Commodore to continue the rich vein of form.
