GOING: S(6)

SKY RACING Class 5 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 6.05)  

Certainlycan and Luton Hoo possess good early speed. JOHN RAMBO (7) returned to the winners' stall when resuming and looks to have come back in very good order. Is a two-time winner over this track and trip and winning rider Harley sticks in the saddle. Should prove hard to toss again. TOWN CRIER (4) has gone bang bang to start the campaign and is racing with a lot of confidence. Can certainly bring up the hat-trick from the favourable draw. BOHEMIAN LAD (5) resumes here but is yet to miss the top-two in four first-up attempts and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. The well-related EMPEROR (2) (half to 2xG1 winner Joliestar) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,4,5,2.

Will take plenty of beating.
