GOING: H(8)

POCO VINO Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. ALPHA BRAVO (1) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1200m at Doomben. This a little easier and has the ability to take care of this field. ULUWATU (5) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by a head over 1200m at Sunshine Coast last time out. Goes well at this journey with three wins from ten starts and is a leading contender. PARETO (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Gold Coast Poly two starts back then got the job done by 4.5 lengths as public elect last time out over 1200m at Beaudesert. High on confidence now and is likely to be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Alpha Bravo.
