GOING: G

MANGROVE HOTEL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

A strong gallop is likely with Now You See Me and King Cartel taking up the running, closely attended by Roey Clam and Cruise To Victory. NOW YOU SEE ME (8) made it a hat-trick of wins last start at this track and trip when scoring by 0.6L as an odds-on pop. This is tougher, but the weight drop helps and his racing pattern will make him hard to mow down. Can extend his winning run. KING CARTEL (3) finished sixth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in contention on the turn to score by a nose over 1200m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. HELL I AM (2) drifted back over 1435m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Solid top-three hope. CABLE BOY (7) finished second last time over 1200m at this track, beaten a nose. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CLIMB ON TOP (4) was too good first-up over 1100m here and the form out of that race worked out nicely. Can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Now You See Me can keep winning.
