GOING: G(4)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Class 2 Plate 2150m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Forever Fortune leading the way. TAJAWAL (2) has been thereabouts in harder company this time in work and will appreciate the drop back in company here. Strips fitter third-up from the break and gun hoop Maloney stays on top. Will be right there when the whips are cracking. FOREVER FORTUNE (1) has won two of his past three and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Top-three credentials on recent efforts. MAD ANA (9) is one from one around this circuit, draws the inside marble and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Plenty to like about her prospects in this line-up. MAKING EYES (12) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,1,9,12.
