GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Tobin Bronze Stakes 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Off the low draw Madam Jeanette should lead at a genuine tempo. IMPERIAL FORCE (1) is holding top form and looks ready to strike again after going down narrowly in the Group 2 Arrowfield at Randwick. Boasts the superior form-lines and maps perfectly for Kah. The one to beat. GALLANT SON (5) has had his booming on display this prep but is yet to land the prize. Was good in the LR Redelva Stakes last start but came up just short. Gets the chance to settle much closer this time. Should take plenty of stopping again. WINNASEDGE (4) was a strong winner two back at Caulfield and wasn’t far away in the LR Moomba Plate last start. Has the form to be right in the mix. RESERVE BANK (2) bounced right back to form last start when taking out the Redelva Stakes here. Not drawn as nicely this time but gets the key booking of Shinn. Underestimate at your own peril. TROPICUS (3) returns from a short break. Boasts strong form-lines at his best. Have to keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Imperial Force to win.

Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Wyong Bm72 March 19 over 1200m defeating Iconic Treasure with 61kg at $2.10. Boasts the superior form-lines and will take some stitching.
