GOING: G

SBA Office National Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Anticipate Dad Bod, Runaway Tycoon and Time To Baca to set a strong tempo. Very good race with a host of win chances. Liked the win of DAD BOD (4) last time though, who had to be gassed early to cross from a wide gate, sat outside the pace and just kept finding to score here by two lengths. Drawn ideally this time and gets a chance at some cover. Worth following up. ROMANTIC LOVE (6) was also a strong last start winner. First run for the new yard and scored a four-length win here in slightly easier grade. Tougher gate but looks a top chance again. RUNAWAY TYCOON (1) placed fresh then also scored a big win when second-up. Fitter again and can go on with it. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (9) is a former NSW galloper having first try this area and has won fresh. Watch the market closely. BRAZEN BON (2) has placed both runs this time in and looks ready to show best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Dad Bod.
