GOING: G(4)

Platinum Ag Rating 0 - 52 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Prince Kuro to take up the running with Inner Sanctum and Ti Tree Royal close at hand. LAKEHURST (1) battled away soundly fresh, then took a good step forward when carrying the big weight to win at Broken Hill. Is open to further improvement third-up and gets 3kg off with the claim. Leading player. PRINCE KURO (5) hasn't won for a long time but strikes a much more suitable assignment back at this level. Should give himself every chance up on speed. Don't take lightly. EMMOOKI MAGIC (7) was beaten by the barest of margins when resuming here in February. Has been less effective in her last two but gets the chance to get things back on track from the kind draw. LIGHTLY SPARKLED (2) is yet to hit her straps since joining the Lynch stable but suspect she may be able improve sharply on the quick back-up. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lakehurst can win again.

At the latest run sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 11 at Oakbank Cl1 on March 18 over 1100m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Silver Lifestyle carrying 54kg at $21. The start before that raced behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 11 at Murray Bridge Cg&E 0-62 on March 7 over 1200m, 5 len behind Gold Spirit carrying 54kg at $61. Can turn things around in this suitable assignment.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 9 at Kingscote Bm54 on February 21 over 1215m, 8 len behind Real Valentia carrying 54.5kg at $16. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track 0-54 on February 13 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Mr Jones carrying 54kg at $6. Others look to have a bit more upside and looking elsewhere.
