GOING: G(4)

ASAHI SUPER DRY HANDICAP 1550m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.93)  

Strong early tempo with Cobra Club and King Of Dragons leading the way. Open race to close out the card. FIERCENESS (7) is a consistent commodity who has hit the top-four in eight of nine races this campaign and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Gets a jockey upgrade in the form of Lloyd in the irons and should be right there at the business end. GOOD PRIZE (4) has gotten better with each run this time in work and looks to be working up to another victory. Has the talent to test this line-up. COBRA CLUB (5) hasn't been too far away of late and should be able to sit up on speed from the low draw. Will give backers a sight. PAPPA BLUE (8) strips fitter second-up from the break and may earn some minor money. RILEYCAT (9) best of the rest with the 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 7,4,5.
