GOING: G(4)

Supreme Green Landscaping BM56 Handicap 1009m

Track: Good 4     Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.10)  

Strong tempo from The Carillo, Remember Poppy and Artful Lodger. This is a tough one because most are either coming off poor runs or runs on wintery tracks. DO IT NOW (7) is the only last start winner in the race and may well be worth following up. That was on heavy ground and will find a much firmer track here but the race sets up nicely with plenty of speed and drawn to camp off it. Claim helps and can make it back-to-back wins. REMEMBER POPPY (10) was a soft track maiden winner two back then was fifth in richer grade last time. Senior rider here and worth another chance. GEEGEE JET BY (4) placed two back on heavy ground then finished at the tail last time at huge odds. This easier and senior rider aboard this time. Will enjoy the good speed and hit the line hard. THE CARILLO (2) was moderate fresh after leading and dropping out. This is easier and claim helps. Has the inside and fitter can give a sight. OVER BOOST (3) is another having a change of rider to a senior after a poor run last time. Blinkers on for the first time and can do better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Do It Now.
