GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Form Genius C2 Hcp 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.54)  

Expecting Amant Francais to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. MISS DE LUNE (6) is busting to win again and there was only a whisker the latest in a blanket finish as favourite. He will ride the speed on a 7-day return and the shorter sprint is likely to suit. MATERIAL MADAM (3) won first up and then didn't finish it off following. He will be better for that and won his only third-up outing. A bounce is likely. KAKIA (1) resumes owning a comfortable trial win. He has the ability and may be more forward this time around. AMANT FRANCAIS (2) resumes and has placed fresh. He races forward and will be around the mark in well with the 2kg claim. GEEGEE STRAWBERRY (7) tries hard and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Miss De Lune.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at this track Cl1 on August 24 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind Sister Royal carrying 56.5kg at $2.70. The run before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 at this track Cl2 on July 27 over 1430m, on heavy track; 0.8 len behind Adachi carrying 55kg at $5.50. Encouraging effort last start. Great chance to atone.
