GOING: S(5)

GREAT NORTHERN BREWING CO RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +2m Remainder .  

Strong early tempo from the fliers Tennagain, Snuggle Bang Yahoo and Super Fast. SILVER GLITTER (9) resumed with a 1L defeat in an Open 2 at Mackay and can bounce off that. Maps well and benefits from a 2kg claim. The danger is likely to be PLATINUM FIELD (1) who is first up following a switch from the top Victorian stable. He is right up to this at best and has won fresh. Draws an inside barrier and the blinkers are applied again. MISHANI MAVERICK (4) is third-up and improved. Butler is a key jockey switch replacing the 3kg apprentice. In the mix. SUPER FAST (2) has been within range and has the early speed to skip across for the wide barrier. He won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silver Glitter appeals most.
