GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES FORM GENIUS Colts, Geldings and Entires Class 6 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hawker Hall leading the way. Former Godolphin campaigner PEREILLE (13) hails from a handy family (full to G2 winner Corniche) and will find this much easier than the recent runner-up finish at Listed level around Flemington. First run for the Gollan yard here and any market confidence must be respected. CASPERNOVA (12) has been on the doorstep of another victory with three consecutive runner-up finishes to start the preparation and has never missed the top-four in 12 career outings. Has to be included. JOHN RAMBO (7) has a solid record over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from five starts. In the mix on best form. HAWKER HALL (16) saluted at Doomben last time out and winning hoop Dolan sticks. Should give backers a sight from the low draw. MILLANE (8) rounds out the selections with Maloney on board. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pereille.
