---|---|---|---|---|
Not clear cut the lead but they should run along okay. BOOM IN THE DARK (4) races handy and placed beaten 2L here at his second race start. In the premier barn (Gollan) and is sure to keep improving. Has a handy barrier and Thornton stays aboard. FLYING D'AMORE (10) resumes for the Neasham barn and also rates well. Placed at Eagle Farm on debut at a short quote and the money came again at the Sunshine Coast and she was narrowly beaten in a blanket finish. Will be naturally improved and Maloney's booking suggests she's pleasing. TIPPED OFF (6) is a likely improver from the Gollan yard. Maps for a soft run and a top hoop rides. MARGOT'S BULLSEYE (15) was weak first up but showed plenty early doors. Has the blinkers first-time applied and can go a lot better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Boom In The Dark over Flying D'amore.
