GOING: G

bet365 Class 1 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.50)  

Only a small field with Seeyou Raider likely to find a comfortable lead. Good race but giving SEEYOU RAIDER (1) another chance. Was runner-up here two back then led and went too quick at Caulfield Heath latest before being swamped. This a lesser race and will take catching. SKELLIG ROCK (5) got off the mark fresh, running on to score over 1000m at Sale. Fitter again and the extra trip a plus. Could well go on with it now. GEE KRISTIE (2) was also a fresh-up maiden winner, scoring by a neck over 1100m at Moe. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. CENTRE SQUARE (3) faded fresh but ran a much better race second-up. Rates highly on best and very nicely weighted in this with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back up on Seeyou Raider.
