GOING: S(6)

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

Track: Soft 6     Rail: True.  

Paballo, Paper Cowboy and Palatial Prince can set the pace. NEOCLASSICISM (4) is a very consistent gelding when fit, and he ran into third at Murwillumbah last time out in his first showing of form this prep. He handles any sort of track conditions, and with the right run, he can take this out. BRAVE COWBOY BILL (2) won his maiden here in his penultimate start, and as so often happens when the penny drops, he won again at Dalby 10 days ago, both times by a nose. This is no harder, and the hat-trick beckons. PAPER COWBOY (6) has been in good form on the picnic circuit prior to missing out last time out at Gympie. He has a more experienced apprentice in the saddle this time, and can bounce straight back into the money. GALLERY MASTER (10) has needed all of 3 starts back from a spell, and with the aid of a 3kg claim here, he is ready to put his best hoof forward. PALATIAL PRINCE (3) resumes from a spell, and he usually comes to hand quickly. A wide gate is no help, but he has not missed a cheque in 2 starts here. Watch closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Cowboy Bill each way.
