GOING: G(4)

KIA OPEN Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: 1 metre Entire.  

Plenty of speed engaged with Holy Racket, Hermanita and Shows A Sign going forward ahead of Manhood and Zouperb. HOLY RACKET (9) has a good record over this sprint journey with four wins and four placings from 12 attempts and will strip fitter with that first-up effort now under the belt. Drawn to sit up on the pace from gate two and will give backers a sight. HURTS SO GOOD (6) loves this track and trip with three wins and a placing from four starts and will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell. Looms as the main danger. ZOUPERB (7) resumes here but has only missed a quinella spot once in six fresh efforts and rarely puts in a poor one. Top-three prospects. MANHOOD (2) is a three-time winner around this circuit and can feature with any luck in running. CIFRADO (1) next in line with the 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Holy Racket.
