GOING: G(4)

Carlton Draught BM56 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Raging Monkey. A couple of resumers probably hold the key. TORONADO BOOM (2) has been racing at the provincials and showed plenty early doors. Flies fresh and presents off sharp Flemington jumpouts with Damian Lane aboard. Newitt rides today, and he's going to be tough to beat. WITH STRENGTH (1) is equally good fresh. Brings sharp lead-ups and is also back in grade. Has a handy 2kg claim and plenty of scope for improvement. What we've seen, he's the threat. MR TIME (11) improved to win a 52 and then just missed over this trip and grade at Yarra Valley, and it was an impressive effort from an outside gate. Maps well today, and he should be in the finish again. MIGHTY FEAT (9) was plain at Kyneton last time, but his form prior would see him around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Toronado Boom appeals most.
