GOING: H(8)

Turners Crossing BM64 Handicap 1300m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Cocobill to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. DEADLY PRESS (2) on top in an open race. He was solid last time at Sandown Hillside in a stronger race when beaten a tick over four lengths but had been in strong form prior in this grade and handles heavy ground. Rates a strong hope. SEA POEM (12) was just fair fresh at Swan Hill but is lightly raced and did show ability in two runs in her maiden campaign and could be a quick improver with added fitness and experience. CAPITAL ASSET (3) is racing consistently. He was okay in fifth on a wet track here last time but had been knocking on the door prior and back to 1300m should really suit this son of Capitalist. SECOND FIX (9) was good on a heavy track at Mornington two back behind La Fracas, who has won impressively again since. The run last time was okay without the best of luck but his best form reads well. FIRE TRIBE (11) is off a let up but going well and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deadly Press on top.
