GOING: G

Urbangreen Projects Ryan Morrison 0 - 64 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

Good pressure from the outset with British Poet, Five Star King and Hot Pursuit taking up the running over Stormfront and Il Cubo. IL CUBO (2) returns to home track and looks well placed. Freshened since a close-up fifth at Sandown Hillside last time and is overdue for a win. Won only try course and distance and expected to feature. BRITISH POET (1) was on speed and won a BM58 here last time. Racing well and will give a sight again. STORMFRONT (4) was close to the winner fresh then found himself in the lead last time and little went right. Much better than the run suggests and may well be worth another go. HOT PURSUIT (10) is fitter for two runs in and looks attractively weighted with the claim. Can give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Il Cubo.
1 8x171 BRITISH POET

Useful type. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at this track Bm58 March 21 over 1400m on a soft track defeating No New Tricks carrying 59kg at $5.50. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at Pakenham 0 - 62 on March 6 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Attain carrying 57.5kg at $21. Racing well and is one of the major players off the low draw.

Not a lot went right in front last time and looks tough to beat if near his best.

Must go to a new level now but is progressing nicely and looks up to the challenge.
