TOMO'S ALUMINIUM SERVICES 1000m Track: SYNTHETIC True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Keen speed battle, with Bodacious Kate, Showbastian Coe and Justify That prominent. COSENTINO (5) looks to have a fair bit of upside and was runner-up by a head here just over 3 weeks ago. He was a comfortable winner on this track before that, and will drop 3.5kg in weight here. Hard to beat. KA YING LUCKY (3) has struck his best form again since reaching full fitness, and has travelled up and down the country in doing so. He can secure a run to suit from the pole position, and he will be hard to hold out again. SHOWBASTIAN COE (2) has been narrowly beaten in his last couple of starts after setting the pace. He drops 6kg in weight, and should go close to taking this out. BODACIOUS KATE (6) showed her preference for a poly track when leading all the way to score here just over 3 weeks ago. There is more depth to this field, but she has 4.5kg less to carry and will take some pegging back. PLATINUM DESIGNS (4) battled on well enough to finish fourth here last time out, and won by a head over this trip before that. He is an honest type who can figure in the top 3. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosentino is nicely placed and can take this out.
