GOING: G(4)

MORETON HIRE OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.92)  

Manhood should lead at a keen tempo. A host of chances. HATCHET (9) was enormous first-up at the Sunshine Coast then wasn't beaten far but might have been a shade flat in a similar race here behind Safework last start. Wins 50% of the time here at 1200m and can add to that record from his ideal draw. MASTER SHOWMAN (12) returned from an eighteen-week break with a barnstorming win over this distance here recently. Up in class but he usually holds the form second-up and with a substantial weight drop today he is right in the picture. TECTONIC PLATE (14) chimed in late but found 1000m a bit sharp at the Gold Coast last start. The winner of five from eight at this journey so from gate one she will have admirers. KING KAPA (3) put in a much better performance last start and shapes as one of the main chances if able to repeat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hatchet each-way.
