GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Sky Heights Stayers Series Final 2080m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.30)  

Pace strong with Blushing Tycoon and Brooklyn Boss leading with Slane nearby. BLUSHING TYCOON (1) improved on a slightly underwhelming winning strike rate last time out at Caulfield Heath, really finding the line strongly to score comfortably. To his credit, he's been threatening to put one away for a while and he should get every chance on speed from the soft gate. MIDNIGHT GLOW (5) has come back well with two wins from three starts this time in. Should only be fitter again here and any rain around would aid his cause. GHETTO SUPASTAR (6) hasn't won in a while but was quite good last time at Caulfield, only beaten 1.4 lengths in a BM78. Only needs to hold that rating to be going close here. CAPTAIN ELECTRIC (10) resumes. He's a handy stayer who is certainly up to winning this, the late market will be key to his fitness levels first up. BROOKLYN BOSS (9) is going well but unproven this trip. If he runs it out, he's in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blushing Tycoon to win.
