GOING: S(5)

PETER LEWIS ACCOUNTANCY SERVICES HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 4.41)  

Expecting Step Quick to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. TYRONE'S POWER (2) resumes gelded and owns a Warwick Farm trial win. Brings strong metro and provincial form and McDougall is booked and is striking at 31% with the Litt yard. Looks ready to go and should be too good. MARGIN CALL (5) debuts for Ciaron Maher and is the unknown. He's been a while coming to the races but won a recent Randwick trial and that augurs well. Has an awkward barrier, but a bold run is likely. STEP QUICK (4) resumes and has switched to the Matt Kelley yard on a 92-day return. He's speedy and Owen will use the inside gate. Has pieces of form that would see him in the finish and expect him to be wound-up for the stable's race-day. Stablemate SOUK (1) resumes and has placed 8/10. Was backed off the map his last three and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Tyrone's Power.
