GOING: G(4)

Bottle Stop Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Even tempo set by Superset. ROADCONE (2) clearly on top in the last. Two runs back from a spell have been rock solid albeit going under as favourite at both. He was a touch disappointing last time off an unlucky run fresh but finds the right race here and rates highly. KINETIC JEWEL (15) has been good in two runs back and looks set to peak here. She draws for a nice run and looks well placed getting to 1200m. MERE MORSEL (8) is racing well in some handy form races and will be hard to hold out. ZOMBIE MISSILE (5) resumes and just needs a good ride from the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roadcone to win.
