GOING: S(5)

Innovative Planning Solutions BM65 Handicap 1800m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: 5 metres Entire Course.. (Pent: 6.18)  

Strong early tempo with Captain Eagle and Arduous leading the way. LYNEHAM (4) loves it here around this circuit with a win and a second from two spins and will be ready to peak now third run back from the break. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role in the finish. ARDUOUS (10) has been knocking on the door of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and this is not an overly strong affair. Can go one better against this lot. DIVAKARA (1) has a solid record here on his home circuit with two wins and six seconds from ten outings. Has to be included. CAPTAIN EAGLE (6) is often thereabouts but the wins are rare. Last raced two-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1900m at Kilcoy. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,10,1,6.
