GOING: S(7)

TAB HANDICAP 1250m

Track: SOFT7   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.83).  

Rhythmic Pulse is the likely leader at a slick tempo. THE GREAT HOUDINI (6) raced keenly in the early stages then copped a check in the straight which ended his challenge last start over this distance at the Kensington track. Handy gelding who is rock hard fit and finds a suitable race today - can turn things around. VALIANCY (9) started favourite in a Saturday class race at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago but didn't run on as expected at the end of 1200m. Down in class and the blinkers go on so she is open to plenty of improvement. AMNESTY (2) made up plenty of ground to finish less than three lengths behind the talented The Black Cloud when resuming over 1000m at Randwick recently. Better placed out to this trip and will be tough to hold out. MOLLY NAILS (4) did her best work late at the Farm when fresh from a spell last start. Distance specialist with the class to test this field. IRON MAN (8) resumes. Placed 3/3 when fresh and yet to miss the frame in four runs at this distance. Solid credentials. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Great Houdini each-way at big odds.
