GOING: S

Webbair 0 - 64 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.43).  

Pressure on from word go with Shamrock Bay and Kamchatka handlebars down ahead of Tornado's Sister. RUSSIAN BOBSHARK (3) is a lightly raced 3yo who has been solid in two runs since a strong debut win at this track and distance as the $1.60 favourite. Finds a nice race here and won't need to improve much to be taking this out. MR TICKLES (2) has run second in two runs back from a spell, good at this track and distance first-up. Ready to peak at the third run in. TORNADO'S SISTER (12) continues to race well but find one or two better. GATOR (8) was a narrow maiden winner two back and good again last time when not beaten far in a BM58. Each-way hope. SHAMROCK BAY (9) has won her past two and must be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Russian Bobshark on top.
