GOING: S(5)

TAB HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.32).  

From their good gates Drums Of War, Cassiel and Suprina will likely vie for the lead in a keen early contest. Very open race despite all the scratchings. CINEMATIC STAR (18) has been hard to fault this prep, winning her last two including a soft victory over 1000m at Kembla last start. On trial at this distance but trust the Maher stable has pulled the right rein. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (7) is a lightly raced three-year-old who bolted in first-up from an 18-month lay-off at Gosford then disappointed at Kembla last time over this trip. The big win after a lengthy spell may have flattened him on that occasion. Worth another chance with McDonald taking over. BAT OUT OF HELL (8) is back from an 11-week break and has transferred from Ciaron Maher to Bjorn Baker. Trialling well so must be respected out of the inside gate. BANGETTA (15) has not raced for 15 weeks but is a strong first-up performer drawn to enjoy a lovely run. YANKEE ONE (14) resumes. Showed ability when last in work. Scratched from an earlier race to be kept for this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cinematic Star each-way in a tough one.
