GOING: G

bet365 Palmerston Sprint 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 24) Rail: True.
Plenty of pace from Ideas Man, Early Crow and Star Magnum matching motors ahead of Kerioth. SPACESHIP (6) had won his first 3 starts on the bounce this prep after shifting from Queensland before finishing a lacklustre fourth as favourite last time out. He was nearly 5 weeks between starts leading into his last assignment and needed the hit-out. There will be no such excuses this time and with a 4-kilo weight drop, he will be hard to hold out. Follow your money. CONCLAVE PRINCE (11) has won 2 of his 3 starts this prep since arriving from Victoria and should have no trouble with the class rise here, especially with 5.5 kilos less to carry this time. Stick with him. IDEAS MAN (1) is a tough veteran who was back in winning form here last start. Each-way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spaceship to win.
