Sportsbet Take A Sec Before You Bet BM64 Handicap 1590m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28)  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. PAT'S BRO (3) is racing in great form with wins at two of the last three and from just four career starts. Has upside on the majority of these and expected to measure up again. WHIRLWIND (4) is also in great form, winning two on the bounce. Has been winding up strongly and finding the line well. Looks hard to hold out again. SUPER SOLAR (7) charged home from the tail last time to finish runner-up. Genuine type who will be doing his best work late. SUNNY TIMES (5) is better than the form looks on paper. Won two on end over a bit of ground before a poor run and freshened after that. Needed every bit of the 1400m last time and suited by the extra furlong here. Can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Pat's Bro.
