GOING: H(8)

Dahlsens Group BM56 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 7.05)  

Solid tempo with Rock Glory to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BOSSY STAR (1) has been okay in two runs back from a spell, getting into a narrow fourth last time at Kilmore. Should be ready to fire now and has the peaks to take care of these in what looks a very winnable affair, go close. I'M DYNAMITE (18) is coming off a win at Werribee in a 0-56, the fourth of his career. This is ever so slightly harder but not by much and he's been racing consistently. Right in this. JESSUP (11) struggled last time at Mornington in a deeper race but had been going well prior, the second placing at Kilmore two back reading very well for this. Strong chance on speed. sunset beauty (16) is going okay without winning and should be running on into the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bossy Star to win.
