GOING: S

Sportsbet More Places Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Hot tempo expected from Sassy Boom and Eugenius. KEEP YOUR COOL (6) is up slightly in grade from a last start third at this track and trip but gets the services of Craig Williams aboard here and draws nicely. She should be at peak fitness now and this looks a fairly winnable BM84. PARIAH PEARL (13) wasn't given the best of rides last start at Flemington but is going well all things considering. Gets in light here and while drawn wide, she can push on to sit in the first pair. Can figure. TRUE TO FORM (11) ran a better race out to this trip last time out, sticking on well for second behind HOME RULE (4) who started big odds and led throughout. Both have to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keep Your Cool on top.
