GOING: H(9)

KILCOY EXCHANGE HOTEL Colts, Geldings and Entires RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 9     Rail: True.  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Daintree Dreaming, Paballo and Bee Two. PAPER COWBOY (6) was too bad to be true at the latest effort but go on the two solid victories prior. Has placed over this track and trip and gets some weight off with Newman's 2kg claim. Can bounce right back to the winners' stall here. PABALLO (5) has hit the frame at the past couple and looks to be building up to another win. Another to get some weight relief and is capable of testing his rivals. ABOVE THE SKY (13) has a handy record around this circuit with a win and four placings from just six spins. Can run a race while fresh. GALLERY MASTER (9) has a win and two seconds from five starts over this track and trip and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Best figures measure up. PALATIAL PRINCE (3) has placed two from two over this course and distance and may make his presence felt first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,5,13,9.
