GOING: S

Bomboras Handicap 1543m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m. Out 10m Remainder.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Everything Counts and Kathy's Beau heading Mahrez. KATHY'S BEAU (4) has been busting to win and maps for the run of the race. John Allen missed a whisker on him two back over this distance and is reunited. Gets another chance. EVERYTHING COUNTS (1) presents for a leading metro stable. The former French galloper resumed in good order and is sure to have come on. He's right up to this and the in-form Dee sticks aboard. SPARE COIN (5) is also second-up with more to give. He demolished the 58 graders at Terang before the spell and is heading in the right direction. FULLPROOF (13) is third-up and has the first-time blinker applied. His best would see him right in it and respect the barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Kathy's Beau.
