GOING: S

Sportsbet - Racing Form Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Base Of Fire possessing enough dash to find the front. BASE OF FIRE (2) is going better than his form reads and sets up well fourth-up. His best performances stack up strongly, expect him to be hitting his straps on the quick back-up. PINCHBECK (3) continues to race consistently, without winning. Is another on the quick turnaround and gets the benefit of an inside draw. Must be taken seriously. ROYAL TELEPHONE (7) has not won for quite some time but despite the drought, he boasts figures that stack right up to these. Worth some thought. CANIDAE (8) caught the eye last start at Balaklava, unleashing late to claim third. Will drift back again from the draw and be saved for the final shot at them. BLISSFUL BAY (1) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Base Of Fire.
