GOING: G

Thank you Phil Beaton BM58 Handicap 1103m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.55)  

Strong tempo assured with Sibel, World's My Oyster and Brulante rolling to the front. Big field and tough race. SKELLIG ROCK (8) is going well with placings at last two but has the blinkers deed for this. Tricky gate but expected to be running on hard. CLIMATE CHANGE (7) led and faded two back then was ridden off the speed last time and came home well to score. Claim again helps to offset the weight rise and should be winding up late again. EXTREME ALLY (12) raced on speed and just missed behind Climate Change. Finds it hard to win but does meet the winner 2.5kg better here so can give a sight again. WORLD'S MY OYSTER (6) was a debut winner at Ballarat then put away again. Tricky gate but can run a bold race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Skellig Rock.
