GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Get On Extra BM70 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Johnnie Pinch heading them off. BOLD STRIKE (11) went close over 1200m at Cranbourne heavily bet and then couldn't have been more impressive winning a 66 this track/trip after settling rearward off a wide gate. Has been kept on the fresh side and can settle closer. Suitably placed to go on with the job. ENCHANTED JENNI (7) has raced his last four in town and two back was only beaten 2L at Sandown-Hillside in a 78. Wasn't far away on the Lakeside over 1600m last time and the step-up to the middle distance is sure to suit. MORRYL MORAL (3) went close over this trip in the Stawell Cup improving again. Has to carry more weight in easier but maps for the run of the race and 2x winning rider John Allen is reunited. ALL SO CLEAR (4) went close over 1800m in a 70 at Caulfield Heath two back and is in well with the 2kg claim. He also has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bold Strike to win.
