GOING: S(5)

C&M Build Group BM56 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.43)  

Strong tempo assured with Volkano, Too Darn Crystal and Anthophila rolling to the front. VOLKANO (2) resumed in tougher grade and finished midfield then raced this class and was beaten a lip. Ready to find winning form and worth following up. FORTYFOUR MAGNUM (7) returns from a break and looks well placed here fresh. Has placed 2/4 when resuming and won only try here. Expected to run well with the claim and inside draw. AMRAAM (3) just missed here before a long break, then returned with a good run. Fitter and worth following up. SHANGHAI VENTURE (5) is going better than form suggests and probably didn't have a lot of luck last time. Back a notch and worth another chance. TOO DARN CRYSTAL (6) is ready to show best and will take running down. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Volkano.
