GOING: S(5)

Hume Doors & Timber BM70 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.94)  

Expecting Detrimental to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. The well-related TRIBBIANI (6) (half to 3xG1 winner Explosive Jack) has hit a purple patch of form this campaign with two wins and a placing from three outings and is racing high on confidence of late. Gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim and should be right there at the business end. COUNT NICHOLAS (5) has a handy record over this distance range with a win and eight placings from 13 attempts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Rates among the leading chances. SPIRIT OF BRODIE (3) has put back-to-back victories together and is another to get some weight relief. Top-three candidate. RALPHIE (1) hasn't been too far away at the past couple of efforts and may earn some minor money. DETRIMENTAL (4) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 6,5,3.

Sure to get all the favours from barrier three and looks a leading contender.
