GOING: G(4)

Cool Group 0-56 Handicap 2050m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Pace a scorcher, headed by Pubsmiriclescript, Anything But and Bob The Horse, closely followed by Jim Bob and Kauai. Race with a tail as long as Princess Diana's wedding dress thanks to an abundance of (poor) picnic form. The key players therefore look to be towards the head of the page. MONTE CASSINO (2) comes off a last placing, but that was in BM62 at Sale and he did start $8 that day thanks to a third placing in a handy 0-62 the start prior. His only win came at this trip. REAL INTRIGUE (3) returned to winning form last start, which was a step up on his previous couple of starts, but it was a return to 2000m and this is no tougher. BOB THE HORSE (1) is a bold front-runner who often sets it up for the swoopers but he'll be better for the run at this trip last start and while yet to win in six starts here, he has filled four minor placings. The winner probably comes from one of those three, but next best could be VISTETTO (4), who might appreciate being back in trip, then MARLIN (5), whose form looks poor but is at least coming through better races than a number of rivals. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 1,2,3.
