GOING: S(5)

Great Northern Brewing Co BM60 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 7m 1000m-W/Post; Out 2m Remainder. (Pent: 5.56).  

Genuine tempo from Dark Archer leading King Samuel. UNDER THE LIMIT (1) is an honest commodity who has only missed the top-five once in his past 15 outings. Is always thereabouts and has to be considered. KING SAMUEL (5) is having his first run for the new stable and any market support should be noted. LAST ROYAL (12) saves his best form for this distance range with a win and two placings from four attempts. Hard to ignore. FINSCEAL (4) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Under The Limit to win.

Third-up and won third-up previously. First-up sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track Cl3 on May 17 over 1200m, 2 len behind Fodor carrying 61.5kg at $3.30. Second-up held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Cairns Bm65 on June 1 over 1250m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Crowning Moment with 59kg at $3. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1400m.
