KIA ORA BLOODLINES TO HEADLINES HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post, +5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.52)  

Genuine tempo from Front Rank leading Pimlico. SHADY ROAD (5) super run at Scone two-back in the LR Denise's Joy, then taken back from the wide gate and was a total forgive, finishing eleventh over 1200m at Eagle Farm in the LR Qld Day. Gets weight relief with Nock's claim and has the ability to take this out at the good odds. HELLO CAPTAIN (1) good type who keeps raising the bar in weaker grade. Shouldered the 62kg for an effortless win as fav over 1250m at Canterbury. Can offset the 60.5kg from the inside gate and figure prominently. CHEEKY SMIRK (2) is starting to build a solid winning CV and maps well again over his preferred trip. Drops in weight on a firmer surface and should appreciate the Randwick track. Sure to be thereabouts. ARAPAWA (11) comes here in peak condition and won't know himself with just the 52kg after the claim. Stalks the speed and looks massive overs. LIGHTHOUSE LASS (13) caught the eye at Newcastle and looks a ridiculous price with just the 52kg. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 5,1,2,11,13.
