GOING:

#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 68 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 18)    

Good pace from Bob, One Giant Leap and Pyro Edition. FLASH LIGHTNING (6) is better than his recent form suggests. He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he was switched for running room at the 350m mark and was reported to be coughing. His last victory came over this course and distance. Chase Maujean steps into the saddle and he should prove hard to beat. GOLDEN GREY (4) followed up his maiden win with an equally impressive victory over 1400m on this course. He is clearly in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. CHEERFUL CHARLIE B (3) should have finished much closer to the winner last time. He takes a slight drop in class and with a bit of luck in the running, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. BLACKBERRY BREEZE (1) is having his first outing from the Gavin Smith stable. It must be noted that multiple horses from his last form line have come out and won since. He drops in class and if settled into his new surroundings, he should be figuring in the finish.
