GOING: G

College Rd Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Bollon should spear straight to the front of the small field. Hard to knock BOLLON (3) who has scored back-to-back wins here, two back by seven lengths and the latest by six. Can make it three straight. IKNOWHATYOUREDOING (5) was over the sharper trip last time and safely held. Much better off back to the mile and gets a chance to atone. BEAU FACTOR (2) scored two runs back then was well supported last time but could only manage to finish fifth over 1300m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FIELDS OF COURAGE (4) is super honest and looks a leading top three hope again. TENNESSEE WHISKEY (1) kicked off this campaign with a win then fourth over 1800m at Sunshine Coast, beaten 4 lengths latest. First run this area and worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Bollon.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; won by 6 len at this track 0 - 58 May 23 over 1600m defeating Barocco Bar with 60.5kg at $1.60. The run before that favourite; won by 7 len at this track 0 - 64 April 24 over 1600m defeating Rhesus carrying 55.5kg at $1.90. In great form and should be right in the thick of things again.
