GOING: S(5)

Carbine Club Handicap 1390m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.53)  

An absence of early speed provides Kaboom Kaboom with the opportunity to lead. JUST A NEEDS (3) deserved the comfortable CL4 win over a mile heavily-bet and dropping back a bit in trip won't be a bother. Draws an insde gate today and with the weight relief rates to go on with the job. WINEGLASS BAY (2) resumes and has switched from the Chris Waller yard. He has compelling form over middle distances, but has won over this trip and trialled well enough. May be wound up, and the betting will be key. SAILOR (6) has been knocking on the door over a mile and presents freshened. Gets in light and will enjoy a soft run. Gets his chance. GEE GEE MISS QUITA (4) has the top rider and has more to give. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just A Needs appeals most.
