GOING: S(7)

Book for Amateur Cup Sat 24th May RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1050m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +2m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.70)  

Pace looks genuine from Love My Louis, Para Park Chance and Lamentum, closely attended by Answering. LAMENTUM (3) over raced in the early stages but found the quinella first-up in a strong form race at Rockhampton. He's further improved, and this is easier. Has a 1.5kg claim and stripping fitter, he can go one better. ANSWERING (6) was quickly back on track, narrowly beaten in a CL2 here over 1300m. Led and missed a whisker at the track/trip three back and Butler is reunited. SENSATIONABULL (2) surprised winning a 60 at Townsville and then found one better there in a 55. He will use the rails gate, and the shorter sprint shouldn't bother. He can make the finish again. Wiggins is back on FLYING MAPLE (4) and she'd be a geneuine hope finding her best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lamentum.
