GOING: G(4)

PADDY BYRNE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.76)  

Moderate tempo with Ultimate Paradise leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. FIENDISH (7) flew home last start from a long way back to just miss here 21 days ago. Nitika Riordan takes 4kgs off and while he hasn't won for a while, the latest effort suggested he wasn't far off another. Ticking along nicely and hits a suitable race this time around. RULING DAME (1) jumped favourite over the mile here last start and couldn't run down her rivals when over the mile last time out. Back to 1200m is a strange play, though she is 28 days between runs and the visors go back on. Rating last start stacks up, she just needs to run to that level over this trip. ULTIMATE PARADISE (2) was too good in a CL2 here last start when sitting close to the speed and winning by 0.5L. That form may have been franked by now and she has the speed to offset the sticky gate. Ticks a few boxes and won't be far away. CLASSIC CODE (3) never got into the race last start and can bounce back. CALL TIME (9) is next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fiendish on top in a tricky race.
