GOING: G(4)

Nibble Nobbys Nuts Handicap 1343m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 8m 1700m - 800m, Out 10m Remainder.  

They should run this along with Censori and Heiwana Tamashi taking it up over Cool Savanna. CENSORI (6) flashed her talent early, impressively winning a Sandown maiden on debut last August. It was a good sign that a daughter of Russian Camelot was able to win over 1200m on debut and she's had three trials in preparation for the return, including a 1000m workout on Apr 15 when she went to the line alongside well-performed stablemate Getta Good Feeling. KALEO (1) returns to the races a gelding. He showed a bit early, so much so that connections tested him in some handy races last prep, including the Sandown Guineas, where he finished 4th (albeit beaten 7 lengths). He's also trialled up nicely and strikes a winnable return option. POWER AND THE BEAT (4) was stepped up to BM74 grade after the nice maiden win but was outclassed and is much better suited back to this grade. COOL SAVANNA (2) was a big improver last start and no reason he can't go on with it from the good draw. MANDRAKI (5) is fitter now and might appreciate the extra trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Censori to win.
