GOING: S(6)

Geelong Cup After Party BM64 Handicap 1212m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo set by Time Lapse and La Pleine Lune. Tough. IT'S A YES (2) resumed in a rich feature at Flemington and missed a hat-trick by 1.5L. He won his only second-up start and the 1.5kg claim assists. Strips fitter and he will go close. TIME LAPSE (5) is in a sharp stable and brings strong metro form to resumption. He's jumped out well and should be naturally improved. He is free running and will take pegging back. DOWN LOW (4) resumes and is also in good hands. She has an awkward gate but the 2kg claim is handy and she's proven fresh. Her best gives her a chance. BOTANICAL BOY (6) can build on the Maiden win for the Freedmans, but it is a step up. SUGGESTED PLAY: It's A Yes appeals most.
