GOING: S(5)

Ridley Agriproducts BM56 Handicap 1206m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - WP, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.43)  

Expecting Volkano to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. Keen on the improving DOBKINS (4) who returns from a break. Was too good on debut, immediately getting off the mark, then was sound in two city races, both of which were hot form references. Expect to have come on and returns in much easier grade. Might be too good fresh. The biggest danger looks to be VOLKANO (3) who is much better than the fresh-up sixth at Pakenham. Was tested in Stakes class last time in when tackling the Sires in Adelaide and will be much fitter for the fresh-up run. Expecting big improvement. HE'S GODSPEED (1) wasn't far away two back then was safely held at Mount Gambier latest but he wouldn't be alone on that tricky circuit. Best figures stack up and worth another try. PENTONVILLE ROAD (11) is closing in on a win, the latest a close-up second and should be at top now. BECAUSEYOU'RE MINE (2) has a big weight but is racing well and among the main chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Dobkins.
