GOING: S(6)

BRC MEMBERSHIP No Metro Wins Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.22)  

Genuine pace with Certainlycan taking up the running ahead of Doubting Eye and Mean Approach. CERTAINLYCAN (6) has a solid record over this track and trip with two wins and two placings from six attempts and winning rider Lang stays in the irons. Again gets the benefit of her 1.5kg claim and is drawn perfectly in gate one. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. The consistent THANKYOU HENRY (5) has only missed the top-two once in eight career outings and will be ready to peak third-up from the break. Cannot be discounted lightly. JOHN RAMBO (4) is a winner over this course and distance and is yet to miss a drum in three first-up efforts. Top-three commodity while fresh. MEAN APPROACH (12) saves his best form for this six-furlong journey and can make his presence felt. GREYZOUS (16) next best despite the awkward draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Certainlycan to win again.

First-up. Finished off last campaign eighth of 12 at Sunshine Coast Cl3 November 29 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Charlie's Case carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. Previously first up; third of 13 at Ipswich Bm60 August 2 over 1100m, 0.6 len behind Helikedempretty carrying 59kg at $26. Will find this tougher than what he was up against prior to a spell and hard to see him improving enough to feature in this.
