GOING: G(4)

Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Hot pace certain with Chinqui, Manolo Bling and Katsu keen to take up the running. MANOLO BLING (13) is a handy filly who looks well placed against the older horses here. She won nicely fresh at Bendigo before tackling the G3 John Hawkes Stakes in Adelaide, starting $3 and finishing 2.75 lengths off some smart types. No issue back to 1000m, she's very speedy and should go close. CHINQUI (12) also comes back in trip which looks to suit. 1200m was perhaps just a bridge too far last time but she still stuck on very well and she should take plenty of catching now. HARRY GOT STYLES (6) did beat Chinqui here by a length recently so must have claims. His form is all at this trip and he should get a nice run. RED HOT NICC (2) resumes. First up last campaign he was good in a Quality Handicap at Moonee Valley behind a speedy one and that's solid form for this. ALONG THE RIVER (11) won well fresh with a big weight and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manolo Bling to win.
