GOING: S(5)

Ladbroke It! BM60 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 11m 1800m-1200m; Out 14m Remainder. (Pent: 4.52).  

A stack of early pressure, primarily from Extreme Gem. CREATIVE LICENCE (3) won this grade comfortably second-up and then ran forward again narrowly beaten in a 68. Has the handy 3kg claim is easier and has the speed to clear the awkward barrier. Peaks and can bounce back. STARDARMUS (4) has returned to racing improved and did a good job winning the CL1 his latest. Has a 2kg claim and he draws inside today. Fitter and is a live hope. POWER MAGNUM (7) was safely held last time but brought decent synthetic form to that. Has placed 2/2 this track/trip. In the mix with average luck. EXTREME GEM (1) honest galloper who returned last time out with a seventh over 1009m at Devonport Synthetic. Fitter and can play a big role. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Creative Licence.
1 590x7 EXTREME GEM
