GOING: G

RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race BM58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 35)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.38)  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Basso Caruso, Black Adam and Always Split Tens. CONTROVERSIAL MISS (5) is one that's racing well including a win two back and a placing in tougher grade last time. Shoots up in the weights but is honest and expected to feature again. CLINGER (4) is fitter for one run back when midfield over 1200m at Pakenham. This may suit much better and would go close on best. ROLIHLAHLA (6) likely to add some value, if he can improve on his Seymour performance. BLACK ADAM (2) returned from a spell with fair effort last start when fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 1170m. Fitter and in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Controversial Miss to win.
