GOING: S(7)

Ladbroke It! BM65 Handicap 1250m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 1.5m 1000m-930m; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Forgiato possessing the dash to work to the lead. BOLD FEELING (8) had his first start in North Queensland at Townsville 12 days ago and did not fire and looked to be in need of the hit-out. He was a winner on debut when racing in Victoria and should improve very quickly second up. The blinkers are off for the first time and with 3.5 kilos less to carry this time, he is worth another chance. INDICTMENT (2) made up a large amount of ground late when running second at Townsville last time out and he has a big swing in the draws this time. He has a good record over this trip on his home track and can go one better. CROWNING MOMENT (7) came home with a well-timed run to get up and score by a nose here last week and won't find this much tougher. She has a kilo less to carry this time and now that he is at full fitness, he can win again. TEN SCHILLING (4) did not fire at Townsville last time out but all of his form has come on this track and he is expected to bounce back right away. Stick with him on an each-way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bold Feeling on top.
