GOING: S(6)

CACTUS IMAGING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post, +5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.52)  

Expect a strong tempo from Bustling, Imperial Force and Felix Majestic who may have no option but to press on. SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET (7) put away a handy field first-up with the 60kg from a wide gate over this trip at the Gold Coast on May 9. Kept up to the mark with a 791m tick over trial. Gets a better set-up and is just as effective second-up. AMAZING EAGLE (16) drops 9kg in weight for this after resuming with a plugging eighth to Ice Kool over 1000m at this track. Ready for the extra trip and will take stopping on the limit weight. MAYFAIR (6) returns from a lengthy break after bumping into some smart types when last in work. Looks ready go with the two slick trials and has solid each way claims. WORLD ALLIANCE (13) produced a solid set of figures second-up with the big weight when a slashing third over 1100m at Canterbury. Will relish the fast tempo with the 54.5kg. Respect. BUSTLING (2) fitter now and comes up from Victoria in peak condition. Back in grade and has the speed to hold a position from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,16,6,13.
