GOING: S(6)

BUNDABERG DROP BEAR Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: +10m Entire Course..  

Shot Of Whiskey and Click Click Boom possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. CONCESSION (5) was a dominant Gold Coast winner two back before just running into one better around this circuit last time out. Goes well for hoop Dempsey who has two wins and two placings from six steers and can continue the rich vein of form here. SHOT OF WHISKEY (4) will strip fitter second-up from the spell and is more than capable enough on his day. Should be right there at the business end. ANTONITO (2) is one from one over this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Can run a big race while fresh. LOST HIS BEANS (3) is a two-time winner over this distance range who maps ideally for this from gate two. In the mix. EXPRESS PAYMENT (1) rounds out the selections in a race with a stack of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,4,2,3.
