GOING: FM(2)

ZZZFM BM 58 HCP 1900m

Track: FIRM 2   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True .  

Genuine tempo with Mishani Reactor and Born To Be Alive up front. SILVER AGENT (4) has only the one win from twelve starts and like the way he closed off when back in grade for a gritty second over 1920m at this track. At his top now and doesn't have to improve much to win this. JIMMY NAILS (2) comes off a 38-day let-up after pulling up lame at latest. Struggled to run the 3200m out when a poor eighth at the Gold Coast in a BM70. Blinkers go on and back to his preferred trip. Each-way. BORN TO BE ALIVE (9) first real blemish of the campaign when he failed to handle the firm surface with a tiring seventh over 2230m at Grafton. Gets weight relief and shapes as a value prospect. MISHANI REACTOR (1) back in grade when a commanding win as fav over 1600m at Thangool. Gets map favours with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,9,1.
