GOING: G(4)

XXXX GOLD Class 1 Handicap 1350m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +5.5m Entire.  

Runaway Tycoon to take charge ahead of Ecclestone at a good tempo. RUNAWAY TYCOON (9) couldn't have been more impressive shedding the maiden tag at Ipswich last time out and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that dominant victory. Should push forward from the middle draw and will give backers a sight. Former NSW galloper RED HOT LIZZIE (8) has hit the frame in both runs since joining the new stable and will be ready to peak now third-up. Don't dismiss lightly. Former Victorian CHERISH THE DAY (11) has been right there in both local runs and and looks to be building up to another win. In the mix from the Vandyke barn. CHIEF IN CHARGE (2) is better than the recent effort suggests and is next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Runaway Tycoon to go back-to-back.

No reason why he cannot get the job done again.
