GOING: S(7)

SPRING CARNIVAL ON SALE NOW No Metro Wins Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Electric Arrow, Gospel Girl and Power Beau. GOSPEL GIRL (16) has a handy record over this six-furlong journey with two wins and three placings from seven starts. Will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell and can make her presence felt. ABOUT TO EXPLODE (7) is two from two over this track and trip and only needs some luck from the wide draw to be featuring in the finish. LARRIKIN ROGUE (17) resumes here but has won when fresh in the past and has revved up for this with two recent trials. Respect any market confidence. POWER BEAU (3) held on well to finish second last time out over 1175m at Grafton after leading for much of the way. Will give a bold sight again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 16,7,17,3.
