CITY TATTERSALLS PATRICK CAMPION HANDICAP 1600m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 21) Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 5.11). |

---|---|---|---|---|
Looks a decent tempo with Major Beel, Roma Avenue and Peshmerga leading the charge. Group 3 placegetter GALERON (4) failed to see the 1800m out when a disappointing sixth behind Golden Path here on August 10. Go on his strong minor placing two-back over this trip behind Space Age with the 61kg. Will be attacking the line late with J Mac aboard. ROMA AVENUE (7) unwanted in betting second-up when a surprise nose winner over 1400m at Rosehill on August 17. Expected to stalk the speed and prove hard to hold out again. Multiple Group 3 winner ZEYREK (1) strips fitter after resuming with a plugging 12th behind Via Sistina over 1400m here in the G1 Winx Stks on August 24. Goes much better second-up and not to be underestimated with the 3kg claim. FLOATING (6) has a strong record over this track and trip and unsuited first-up when a plugging ninth over 1400m in the Goulburn Cup on August 25. Maps well and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Galeron to win.
