GOING: G(4)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.96)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Frontex may lead the way over Starman. DASHING RUPERT (6) produced a good figure when beaten a length at Rosehill two back then was looking for more ground last start when midfield over 1200m at Kembla (metro). Nicely in after Nock's claim and getting to 1400m fourth-up looks the perfect scenario. ROLLING MAGIC (2) was hard to miss when resuming over 1300m at Rosehill on 8 November. Settled worse than midfield that day then launched late and just missed in the Midway. Josh Parr gets the best out of this fellow and he sticks. Great chance to go one better. The best recent form reference for STARMAN (8) is two back when he led but was cut down late over this distance at Rosehill in Saturday grade. Without a win for nearly four years but back in midweek company he cannot be ruled out. PIPERITA (11) turned in a decent effort first-up at Canterbury. Better placed today out to this trip and from a good draw gets all the favours. FRONTEX (9) cannot be ruled out coming back to his right level today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dashing Rupert makes plenty of appeal.
