GOING: G

LockettLED.au Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Tower Bridge should lead at a strong tempo. TOWER BRIDGE (9) didn't take long to find winning form, coming away to score a dominant maiden victory when last seen at Geelong over 1230m after making the pace. This looks another suitable option for the I Am Invincible colt and he can take that next step. ALIANO (6) is the clear danger coming off a dominant maiden victory at Sale, backed into $1.45 and justifying that quote by 4.5 lengths. He can push on having drawn one outside Tower Bridge and the race should be on from there. BOLD STRIKE (7) resumes with claims. He's more exposed than the others and may find them slightly on the sharp side but he's certainly good enough. VOLATILE (5) was better second up in a good race but did start 150-1 there. ASIATIC (10) has won 2/3 this time in and isn't hopeless at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tower Bridge to win.
