GOING: S(5)

Happy Birthday James Goss BM68 Hcp 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Moderate pace only with Lord Whitegate leading Captain Cam. CAPTAIN CAM (2) deserved the CL3 win and followed with a near miss this grade. Peaks today and races forward. He can bounce back into the winner's stall. The speedy LORD WHITEGATE (4) led and posted a strong figure winning a 60 easily, and then didn't finish the race off at this level. He draws to advantage and will be sharper over the shorter sprint. GALLANT WARRIORS (3) needed the first-up outing but is proven second-up. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and would be in the finish at best. LI'L HAIL MARY (5) resumes and has trialled well. She goes okay fresh, and Darmanin is a key jockey engagement. Maps well and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Captain Cam.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track Bm68 on March 14 over 1220m, 1.0 len behind Turk Boy with 57.5kg at $5.50. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Hobart Cl5 on February 7 over 1390m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Lovin' Bev carrying 55kg at $2.40. Rates highly. Worth plenty of thought.
