GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.82)  

Plenty of speed with Mountain Top, Jamberoo and It's A Knockout leading Black Run and High Dandy. MORRYL MORAL (9) chimed in late but a little check at the 100m proved costly when resuming last start over 1550m at the Kensington track. Good second-up performer who is back in great order and looks tough to beat in an open affair. POPPIN' CHAMPAGNE (12) worked home well but just missed the placings when fresh from a five-month break over 1400m at this track a fortnight ago. Better placed out to the mile and her second-up form reads well. Likely improver. IT'S A KNOCKOUT (6) failed at 1900m last start in a forgive run. Beaten under a length in the Group 3 Aspiration over the Randwick mile to start before - that is outstanding form for a midweek BM78. PEACE OFFICER (3) is fitter for three runs back from a spell. Awkward gate but should be competitive if luck goes his way. MOUNTAIN TOP (14) hit form over the mile here last start when third-up. Ready to peak and McDonald goes on so plenty to like about her chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Morryl Moral each-way.
