GOING: G(4)

Paint Place Cranbourne BM70 Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.36)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Regal Tycoon leading the way. REGAL TYCOON (3) is racing in fine form and looks the one to catch again. She's ultra-consistent having never missed a place in 14 runs to date and winning her past two, the latest in fine fashion over this route. Up slightly in grade here but it doesn't look much harder and she should give a huge sight again. ARIZONA ACTIVIST (1) has been thereabouts in two runs back from a spell, perhaps unsuited only going to 1250m second up in a sit and sprint in Adelaide. He can improve again here. METALLIC RULER (5) ran well fresh at Sandown Lakeside when getting home late into third. That was his first run for the new yard who should have him fitter now. ILLUMINANCE (7) struggles to win but notched up another second placing last time behind Regal Tycoon and has place claims again. QUEEN OF TUSCANY (6) can pick off a few late in the piece. SUGGESTED PLAY: Regal Tycoon to win.
