GOING: S(7)

MULLINS LAWYERS Class 5 Handicap 1500m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.88).  

Strong tempo with Porky leading the way. BRAVE MASO (13) peaks and flies this course and distance. Rates well and sits at the bottom of the weights. Not a prolific winner but maps for a soft run and is sure to give a sight. BROOKHAVEN (2) didn't get into it last time from a wide barrier but won easily here prior as favourite. Has raced well at Group level and can enjoy a softer run. Kept on the fresh side and is a player. UNDER THE CAP (6) resumed a big winner at Rockhampton and hasn't missed a beat. The step-up to 1500m is ideal and Rodd is a key jockey booking. BEAN FOGGY (3) is capable of getting into the money if things go his way from the awkward barrier. PORKY (12) should be ready to show more and it's hard to risk the Gollan barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Brave Maso.
