GOING: G

Talice Security Services Handicap 1100m

Track: Good   Rain (Max: 38)   Rail: True.  

Several of these have terrific gate speed so the pressure will be on from the outset. ROCK OF KRYPTONITE (1) showed a bit of zip fresh up before running out of condition late, finishing at the rear of the field without being knocked about. His second-up record is better and with a dip in class, he can take this out, especially with the aid of a good draw. HURN COURT (2) has been rock-solid all season after making the move from NSW. He has shown a lot of pace in his last couple of runs and is the likely leader here. He is suited by the drop back to 1100m and can take them all the way. TALENT QUEST (4) has won 4 of his 6 starts this prep and was down in class from this when scoring as favourite by 2 lengths last week. He is back up in grade and in his current space, he will be hard to hold out. O'TYCOON (3) is getting fitter third up after making the move from a Sydney yard last season. He only went down by a nose nearly 2 weeks ago in a similar field and he can easily go one better here. SUGGESTED PLAY: O'tycoon each-way.

The run before that second last of 10 at this track Bm54 on October 27 over 1000m, 6 len behind Chief White Sock with 54kg at $26. Better than recent form suggests and he can improve sharply.
