GOING: H(10)

Wakeful Partners Colts, Geldings & Entires Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1700-1500m, +5 Remainder.  

Expecting Prince Kuro to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. ROB THE BANK (7) has had three runs for the new yard and is frustratingly close to a win. Narrowly beaten all three, the latest over the border when finishing runner-up. Strong rider Jason Holder takes over and looks tough to stop this line-up. PRANCETHRULIFE (6) got home hard and just missed latest behind All Shot. Similar weight with the claim and has a tricky draw to overcome but close to a win and will be winding up late. VEXATIOUS CHOICE (4) returned off a long break with a close-up fourth. Strips fitter and is one of the leading chances. HARRINO (1) is mixing form but can give a sight despite the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Rob The Bank.

Most recently did the work up front then tired 6th of 13 at this track 0-56 on May 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind All Shot carrying 60kg at $4.80.

First up last campaign seventh of 14 at Murray Bridge Cg&E Bm58 May 1 2024 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind King Moya carrying 56kg at $11. Others look to have a bit more upside and looking elsewhere.
