GOING: S(6)

Sky Racing BM65 Handicap 1650m

Track: SOFT6   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: +9.5m Entire.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Zou Big Boy taking charge. ZOU BIG BOY (3) boasts a win over this mile journey and will be at peak fitness for this. Gets 3kg off with the claim and is sure to run his usual honest race. THE WHEELBARROW (13) placed around this circuit at the latest effort and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three credentials. FAIRWAY CHOICE (4) better run last start when 1.75 lengths adrift in third over 1400m at Gold Coast. Nice draw and fitter is worth some thought. CHANGE THE DATE (2) experienced performer who wasn't far away last time when second over 1400m at Grafton. Include in all multiples. RASHFORD (7) good effort first-up at but didn't do much last start. Fitter and can show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,13,4,2.
