GOING: H

Roll The Dice Racing BM64 Handicap 1500m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Cocobill leading from Too Big and Eskimo. RENOVATION SHOW (11) was good here twice and then led at Mornington and faded late. Finally draws a low barrier and Newitt sticks aboard. Peaks and is up to this. MARLION'S DREAM (7) just missed on the synthetic following a big 58 win at Werribee. Hard fit and maps for a soft run. Decent claims. YAM (3) seeks the hat-trick off comfortable wins and gives every indication the extra 200m will suit. Has a 2kg claim but he's been settling back and the the inside barrier is a slight niggle. COCOBILL (4) is up to this at best and John Allen is a key jockey switch. Draws to advantage and is a chance at the each-way quote. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Renovation Show.
