GOING: S(7)

Kingsford Hotel Colts, Geldings & Entires Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1700m-1500m Including Chutes, +2m 800m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 7.00)  

Prince Kuro and I Loverain will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. The top two look to have the race at their mercy. I LOVERAIN (1) is a progressive type that steps back to 1200m at a track he's run very well at recently. He's versatile and Caitlin Jones will have options from the barrier. If he can reproduce what she's shown in his last couple of runs, he'll be hard to beat. JUSTICA'S BONUS (2) looks the main danger. There's been merit in both of his runs this campaign and he hasn't missed a place in three runs at the track and distance. SACRED CHORD (3) looks the best value in the race and might be worth a bet at the double figures. He bumped into a smart one last time and this is easier. Throw in KINDRA PARK (11) if you want to go wider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sacred Chord each-way.
