GOING: G(4)

CONGRATULATIONS CHRIS WALLER HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.37).  

Sivka Burka to boot up on the fence to join Much Much Better, Felix Majestic and Kazou in a keen contest through the early stages. CONTEMPORARY (3) returned in good order and has excellent third-up credentials. Comes out of a strong form race when running on late to finish second behind Jedibeel over 1100m here on July 20. Ready for the 1300m now and Nash Rawiller keeps the ride from the right draw. Looks hard to hold out. EXCELLADUS (7) holding his form well this time in and drops in weight and trip for this. Anchored with the 60.5kg when a solid fourth over 1400m at Randwick on July 13. Kept fresh and the blinkers come off. Top each way hope. KAZOU (10) heavily supported on resumption when a gritty on-pace winner over 1200m here five weeks ago with the 3kg claim. Goes just as well second-up and Berry takes the ride in this stronger contest. Undefeated this trip and sure to be thereabouts again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Contemporary to win.
