GOING: G

Sportsbet Bet With Mates 0-64 Handicap 1000m Track: GOOD 4 Clouds (Max: 17) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.77).
Lots of speed expected, predominantly from Wind Dreamer, Rock Melody and Posh I'm Not. CLOCK STRIKES (2) has been racing in honest fashion this campaign and has the benefit of drawing gate one here. Expected to be in the firing line for a long way. BRAZEN BRANDO (6) has been around the mark at past couple over a slightly long trip. Gets some nice weight relief here and is expected to make a bold bid. TOOMPINE (1) disappointed over this course and distance last time after being successful here in previous outing. Is expected to bounce back this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Clock Strikes to win.
