GOING: H(9)

Roll The Dice Racing BM62 Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Balastier, Nasraawy and Struggle Street to match motors but there will be other pressure. BOSSY STAR (4) impressed last start at Geelong when launching late to score stylishly, and the race has already proven a strong form reference with multiple subsequent winners. Faces a stiffer test under a big weight and wide draw, but still looms as a leading contender if he can replicate that effort. BALASTIER (3) resumed in terrific order at Seymour, putting his rivals away with ease in a CL1, and has since been kept ticking over with a jump-out. Drawn to get every chance for Prebble and shapes as a key danger. NASRAAWY (1) has speed to burn and will push straight to the front. Forgive his latest effort, he’s been freshened and gets an important claims. Will give a bold sight if he finds his best. MASKED MARAUDER (5) produced a brilliant barnstorming win fresh at Warrnambool. This is harder but he has upside and shouldn’t be overlooked. EXCENIA (12) returned a stronger galloper judging by her jump-outs and can be closing hard late with Dee engaged. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bossy Star to win.
