GOING: S(7)

TAB Class 2 Handicap 800m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Aye Eye Boom finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. JENCHICK BOOM (7) is in the premier stable and was backed off the map at Toowoomba first-up, but was found to have cardiac arrhythmia. She's been spelled off a near miss at the Sunshine Coast, heavily bet, and has been freshened for this. Maps to advantage and gets another chance. LUVARCHIE (1) races forward and wasn't beaten far here last time. Carries top weight but he is seasoned and can fight out the finish. HOKUSAI (6) resumed at Gatton and looked a run short. She's up to this at best and flies this course/distance. Has a handy 2kg claim and quick improvement won't surprise. AYE EYE BOOM (9) also runs along and can build on the Gatton Maiden win over this distance. She gets in light again with the 2kg claim. DIBBA DOBBA (4) rates okay and will be doing her best work late over the shorter sprint. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Jenchick Boom.
