GOING: S

Rhino the Wrecker BM64 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.42).  

Pace strong from Stirrup and Scorsese vying for the lead closely attended by Doctor Coto. SCORSESE (3) is a consistent type who won here at BM58 level two starts back as favourite before another solid effort at Sandown-Hillside last time out. Finds a similar race here, if not a touch easier, and just needs to hold his form to be going close. BIFROST (1) was good in a stronger race behind two talented types at Flemington last week. That form will hold up here, he just needs to string a couple of good runs together which has been an issue. JABALI RIDGE (2) resumes. He doesn't win out of turn but is certainly up to this grade and usually races well enough fresh. WALTER SPUR (4) found a tough track first up and can be forgiven. Better suited here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Scorsese.
