GOING: G(4)

HARDCORE AND PINK LILY SANDS Class 6 Plate 1500m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.58)  

Smashed by scratchings and it will be tactical. ACROPHOBIC (1) bounced straight back winning an Open here over 1400m. He's on a 7-day return and races forward. Tough to beat. BRASCO (6) was back in the winner's circle delivering a 70 at Townsville. The extra metres should help and he can form the quinella. GENERAL WOLFFE (8) may have had excuses here last time but missed a whisker prior in a 68 over this trip Has the inside barrier and isn't out of it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Acrophobic.
1 5x451 ACROPHOBIC
