CELEBRATING 160 YEARS OF EAGLE FARM OPEN Handicap 1400m Track: Good 4 Clear (Max: 19) Rail: +0.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.84) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo anticipated with Slippin' Jimmy leading the way. BULLION BOY (10) resumed in fine fashion with a strong win here before just running into one better over this track and trip last time out. Winning rider Cartwright reunites in the saddle and should be going very close again. AMUR (3) has gotten better with each run this time in and that culminated with a solid win over this course and distance at the latest effort. Ready to peak now and should measure up. SLIPPIN' JIMMY (6) goes well over this seven-furlong journey with two wins and a second from four attempts and gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim. Top-three conveyance. KRONENBOURG (2) gets the reliable Gollan/Maloney combination and may run a race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Bullion Boy.
