GOING: S(7)

Superior Logistics Australia Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +7m 1200m-W/Post, +6m Remainder. Sectional 609 Metres. (Pent: 6.51)  

Reasonable tempo with Anthracite probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. DARKNCONFIDENTIAL (1) looks ready to win after hitting the line strongly in a race that was dominated on speed. The winner has since won again. He has drawn low, gets a 3kg claim and will relish the step to 1600m. He'll be hard to beat. AMBER NOOK (8) comes out of the same race and finished just behind Darknconfidential. She also gets a handy claim and is another drawn to get a nice run. GIN RUMMY (3) is getting closer and closer to an elusive second win. He's been back to the trials and looks ready to peak. ANTHRACITE (4) is untapped and might end up better than this grade. He looks comfortable on soft track which will help his cause here. TOWER OF TUSCANY (7) is worth some thought as a top three chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Darknconfidential each-way.
