Sportsbet Make it Look Easy Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Broadway Lane and The Mariner pressing for the lead. DYLAN'S LAD (2) dropped in class second up and delivered as expected when scoring by a short-head at Clare nearly 2 weeks ago. He won't find this much harder, and with a 3kg claim, he will carry only half a kilo more than last time. Go again. RODNEY (3) is a durable veteran who still has a zest for racing. He was a month between runs when finishing sixth at Balaklava last time out and will be a lot sharper with less time before this assignment. A 3kg claim will help, and he can bounce straight back into the money. PARACHUTER (7) weakened late after leading and finishing fifth in the same race behind the top pick last start. She is better placed over 1100m, and if she can muster speed early, then she could be hard to peg back. BASE OF FIRE (1) was beaten by a wide draw fresh up at Murray Bridge over 900m. He usually improves with racing, and with the advantage of the pole position, he can figure in the top 3 this time. CROWN MOSHE (11) is another with first 4 claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dylan's Lad to win.
