GOING: S

Carlton Draught Murray Bridge Gold Cup 12 October Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True. (Pent: 5.44).  

Cracking early tempo with Chosen Blonde and Klabel leading the way. KLABEL (8) took his time to work through his gears when resuming on the Parks track four weeks ago but picked up strongly late fill the frame. Stays at the journey and is drawn much kinder. Expect him to take plenty of stitching. SIXTEEN REASONS (10) is yet to strike through this campaign but has turned in some strong efforts. Drops back in trip with 42 days between runs and gets his chance to take much closer order from the inside alley. Gets in low at the weights and is more than capable of taking this out. MAGIC MAX (3) possesses a strong turn of foot and will most likely need to show it after drawing an outside alley. Shoulders a handy record over this track and trip but lugs a big weight. BOONIE (5) next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Klabel to win.
