GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Form Genius Class 1 Hcp 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Genuine tempo from Diesel's Sunshine leading Hartfelt. Competitive. HARTFELT (2) was backed off the map, breaking Maidens over this distance. Rode the speed over a mile following and folded up badly (vet cleared). He's back after two weeks and is better placed this trip. He'll carry just 53.5kg with the 3kg claim and can bounce back. BILLIE THE GREAT (6) won her Maiden comfortably well-supported and has more to offer. Has the inside barrier the the leading jockey replaces the 3kg apprentice. THIN RED LINE (3) has switched barns on a 41-day return and brings strong relative form from Victoria. Maps well and is a chance if presented on song. DIESEL'S SUNSHINE (5) runs along and missed a whisker here this grade/trip last time. She also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Hartfelt.
