GOING: G(4)

BRIAN 'BJ' SMITH Colts, Geldings and Entires No Metro Wins Handicap 1350m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 5.96)  

Expecting Good Lieutenant to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. The well-related RESTONICA (2) (full to Listed winner and G3 placed Renosu) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and two seconds from just five attempts and has saluted on all going. Goes well for jockey Tilley who has two wins from just three steers and is expected to play a major role in the outcome. KADALL (4) has placed three of four this time in work and looks to be building up to another victory. Include from the inside alley. POSEIDON RULER (6) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running sixth at Ipswich. Can sneak into the finish. SIR CARTER (3) won last start at Gatton and is down 3.5kg from last run, can go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,6,3.
