GOING: H(10)

MORT & CO KING OF THE MOUNTAIN 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.10)  

Expecting Steady Ready to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. The feature race on the card, the $750,000 King Of The Mountain. STEADY READY (4) returned in fine fashion with a strong win at Eagle Farm and winning hoop Collis stays on top. Has placed three from three around this circuit and should get across easily from gate six. Rates a serious contender. CIFRADO (1) is first-up here but has revved up for this with two recent trial victories and has a bit of class on this field. Expect him to play a major role while fresh. CHINNY BOOM (12) goes well for Stanley who has four wins and three placings from just nine steers and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. One of the better hopes. IT'SOURTIME (2) best of the rest in a cracking contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Steady Ready to win again.
