GOING: S

Sportsbet More Places Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good pace from Keep Your Cool, Princeofnottingham and True To Form going forward. Open race. KEEP YOUR COOL (6) is a handy mare with a strong overall record. She won well first up on wet ground at Mornington before leading at a strong tempo here last time and sticking on very well for a narrow defeat. That should have her perfectly primed for the rise to 1400m and if she can get across early she'll go close. HE'LL RIP (13) has come back well, winning fresh at Sandown Lakeside before a good effort behind Cafe Millenium who was well backed to win a Listed race last week. That form should hold up. KAHHOF (8) is racing in consistent form of late and is one that maps ideally from a good gate. VAIL MOUNTAIN (10) had the right run to win last time but can measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keep Your Cool to win.
