GOING: S(6)

Corcoran & Parker BM52 Hcp 1400m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of pressure with Sly Cascata, Tomanado and Gargantuan leading the charge. PARALIA (3) is in top form this campaign, including a 0.7 lengths win over this journey at Holbrook last time out, his second win on the bounce. Looks well placed again here and maps for every hope. WAGUNDA (7) fought on for second last start over 1400m at Holbrook behind Paralia, making it two minor placings in a row. He can take holding out once more. TOMANADO (6) finished second last start over 1350m at Dederang, beaten 0.8 lengths. He can land closer here and prove hard to hold out. GARGANTUAN (1) ran below expectations last start, finishing tenth and beaten 11 lengths at Kilmore over 1450m. This is much easier and his best form has him firmly in the finish. MISHIMA (2) is stuck on the 1 win from 26 but will find this easier than recent runs. Takes beating from a low gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to the in-form Paralia.
