GOING: H(9)

Sportsbet Green Tick Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +9m 1000m - W/P, +6m Remainder. (Pent: 6.46)  

Hot pace certain with Boyd, Bardigrub and Leading Impact keen to take up the running. TOBIKKO (5) is desperate to break through on the back of two narrow defeats. Possesses a sharp turn of foot and if they can better utilise the low draw this time he will prove awfully hard to stop. LEADING IMPACT (8) is a lightly raced and promising gelding that has his first start for the handy Bain & Taylor partnership. His NSW form stacks right up for this and two trials should have him forward enough to run a big race. BARDIGRUB (1) just missed fresh and then found enough second-up to hold of Tobikko here last time, who she meets 2.5kgs worse this time but still has more to offer third-up. STYLISH FLIPPER (6) has built nicely into this campaign, unlucky not to get the verdict last time when beaten a neck. Hitting his straps now and is drawn favourably. Have to take seriously. LA ROUX (4) resumes and is unbeaten fresh from two attempts. Drawn sticky but has Holder and strips fitter for a jumpout win. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tobikko to win.
