GOING: S(5)

RED BULL AUSTRALIA Class 2 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Tricky, given the lack of early speed. NAGAMIE (4) rated well winning a 65 at the Gold Coast first-up. He's placed 2/2 second up and Lang rides today. Well placed and is left the one to beat. DUBIOUS SIX (10) brings improving form from Toowoomba and there was only a nose in it the latest. Carries just 52.5kg with the claim and will be in the finish. BEST COFFEE (6) resumes seeking the hat-trick off country wins. He's likely to come back further improved and has won this track/distance. APRIL (5) is a former Singapore galloper who was well supported here first up but disappointed. The hoop said he didn't appreciate the heavy track so be forgiving. Has been freshened a month and he's well in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Nagamie.

Recent form sound. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.4 len at Doomben Cl1 June 11 over 1350m defeating Loch Awe carrying 58kg at $2.70. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Sunshine Coast Cl1 on May 25 over 1400m, slow going nose behind Flywheel carrying 59.5kg at $3.20. Can win again.
