GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95).  

Solid tempo with Departing Bullet to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. UNITED KINGDOM (13) wound up strongly but couldn't get the better of the in-form Rock Empire when second-up last start over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Returned his best figure last prep at the third run back. Beautifully placed out to this trip and he should justify the short quote and get the cash. It's a pretty even bunch after that. DORASKAYA (12) didn't cope with the 2140m journey at Warwick Farm recently, her only failure this campaign. Strong performer at provincial level and is worth a ticket at big odds back to a more suitable distance. CORMAC T (8) wasn't far away when resuming at Newcastle last start. Goes well second-up so worth considering. TYMPANIST (4) might need one more hit-out but his four wins from nine runs on this circuit is hard to ignore. GREEN BELT (3) was brave in defeat at Canterbury recently and should be peaking now after three runs back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on United Kingdom.
