GOING: S(6)

BISLEY WORKWEAR HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

Expecting Snip Of Romance to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SCENIC GEORGE (3) settled last in the small field and couldn't reel in the winner, ending up 0.7L. Drawn inside here which looks a big bonus for him and he's placed third-up in the past. The claim of Riordan comes in handy and with further improvement on the cards, he can get the job done. ORDER ONLINE (5) gets the blinkers on first time today after ending up back in the run at Belmont last start and never really getting into the race. A better draw this time around should see him closer in the run and he makes plenty of appeal as he lands here third-up. ESPINHO (2) comes here first-up following a trial at Belmont most recently. He's good fresh, winning a Ballarat maiden when first-up last campaign. Drawn nicely and can return on a winning note. EARL IT IS (4) finished off nicely last campaign but comes back to 1000m this time around. Won't be far away. LET'S GO JARPO (6) can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Scenic George gets the nod.
