GOING: S(5)

Pac Plus BM55 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 0.5m Entire.  

Good early pressure with El Of A Senorita, Mr Grey and Roy's Road to vie for the lead. EL OF A SENORITA (1) has been within range in tougher races and is well-placed in this contest with the 3kg claim. Maps for the run and it's hard to risk the potent Taylor barn. Stablemate MIGHTY JUDD (3) is the danger. He's threatening a win and has the first-time blinkers applied. 32% stable-striker Stanley stays aboard. ROY'S ROAD (4) races forward and just missed at Yeppoon in a 58 over 1400m. Butler is reunited and the extra metres won't bother. STREET GLORY (8) has been racing well without winning. Has an awkward gate but Wiggins is a positive jockey engagement and she will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing El Of A Senorita.
