---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Tambo's Justice leading from Acclimatise and Smart Legend. A good contest. BEAU RAIN (4) missed a nose and then delivered the win this grade over 1400m. He's back after 7 days and maps for the run of the race. Keeps Stanley and the step up to the mile won't bother. SMART LEGEND (5) has switched from the Robl yard on a 50-day return. His form more than stacks up and he finally has a low barrier. Has the blinker on again and this is winnable if he's presented on song. TAMBO'S JUSTICE (9) runs along and missed a nose behind Beau Rain last time. Peaks and is sure to go close. SOLAR APEX (3) resumes for Hatch and can perform on the fresh side. He's been racing in stronger metro races and is a betting watch. MR MAESTRO (1) will be fitter but needs to find more to be winning. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Beau Rain.
