GOING: G(4)

SEACORP HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

A keen early contest likely with Dad's Bigheaded and Bandalera Beau pushing for the lead with Another Strike and Bondi's Future on their backs. DEADLY AND FAST (5) ran right over the top of his rivals at Albany and pulled away to win impressively by 2.4L. Drawn well this time and has already ticked the distance box unlike his rivals. Drops in weight and a repeat effort will see him bring up back-to-back wins. BONDI'S FUTURE (9) was on the 3 day back up when winning at Belmont last time out. Now out to 1800m for the first time but he drops to the bottom of the weights. Building an impressive record and can win again. ANOTHER STRIKE (8) is hard to knock on recent form, starting favourite ahead of Bondi's Future last start and only going down in a photo finish. He might be looking for this trip now and he gets the Visors on first time. Can go to the next level now. PAIGEY'S TURN (3) absolutely bolted in over the mile last start, pulling away for an emphatic 5.3L win. This is tougher but she can't be discounted. DAD'S BIGHEADED (1) is better than he showed last start and getting back to this track and trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deadly And Fast can go back-to-back.
