GOING: S(6)

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: +7m 1200m chute, +5m Remainder.  

They look to roll along early with I Catchem Fox and Romans Luck leading the charge. MARACOURT (2) left himself with far too much ground to bridge when turning for home here last start but was a rocket late. Drawn to go back again but hopefully McMurray is more proactive in getting the engine revving sooner this time. ROMANS LUCK (9) gave a bold sight fresh but was just run down late by fitter horses in what has proven a strong form reference. Too bad to be true last time when well supported but willing to forgive with a month between runs. Can bounce back sharply. BOLTED IN (10) was better two back when beaten a lip by Isuspectjeu, who he meets 3.5kgs better this time with the claimer taking over. Drawn sticky but can play a major role with a good steer. ISUSPECTJEU (5) held them all at bay when getting the bob here last time. Concedes weight to a few of these now but strips fitter fourth-up and should have more to offer. I CATCHEM FOX (3) and BREATHLESS SPIRIT (7) are both in-form gallopers that can make their presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Maracourt one more chance.
