GOING: G

RMBL Investments Rising Stars Race 1717m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 37)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.41)  

A solid tempo on the cards with Private Jumbo leading the way. PRIVATE JUMBO (1) set to peak at his third run back after racing with distinction in town last campaign. Shouldered the 60kg when up quickly in trip for a plugging seventh over 1500m at Cranbourne a week-and-a-half ago. Gets out to his right distance range now and will hold a forward position with the claim. Genuine top-three prospect. ART 'N' SOUL (4) comes here in peak condition, and his lone victory came at this course and distance. Three weeks between runs when back in trip for a battling third over 1600m at Cranbourne. Kept fresh again and gets another chance. MYSTIC VAMP (7) strong through the line again when a tidy fourth over 1500m at Mornington. Looking for further now and doesn't have to improve much to play a leading role. LIM'S SMYTHE (3) just over a month between runs when an eye catching fifth over 1500m at Mornington. Ready to peak with the claim and the trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Private Jumbo finds a winnable race.
