GOING: G(4)

ELITE SAND & SOIL HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +4m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.21)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy No Drama leading the way. Genuine mare WRITTEN IN CODE (1) returned from a twenty-week spell with a barnstorming win over 1100m at the Kensington track last start, coming from last and overcoming interference to win with a bit in hand. Back better than ever and can repeat the dose. MIDNIGHT DYNAMITE (6) failed down the Flemington straight two back when fresh from a two-month let-up then was more at home on the Kensington track last time when an eye-catching second over 1150m. Big threat in this ideal race. SYDNEY BOWLER (5) has raced twice since a seventy-one-week absence and is struggling to find the form that saw him win three from three before the lay-off. Trialled well behind Evaporate since his last run and might be ready to produce now. SUPER BRIGHT (7) hasn't threatened for a while but could surprise with the senior jock going on today. KADALL (8) is back from a nineteen-week break. Good fresh performer whose recent trials have been encouraging. SUGGESTED PLAY: Following up on Written In Code.
