GOING: S(5)

Yarran BM56 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good pace from Blue Moon Summit, Spinosaurus and Avid General. This is tough. MAGIC LEPRECHAUN (7) hasn't had much luck since his win in this grade at Kyneton. Maps well enough, and he's capable of a much sharper run in this line-up. KID DYNAMITE (4) bled last time and resumes after 190 days. He's right up to this if presented forward. His jumpouts suggest he will be, and he can feature with average luck from a wide gate. CHEEKY CONTIKI (11) resumed in stronger at Ballarat but needed the outing. Has plenty up her sleeve and is likely to push forward. In a top yard and is sure to keep improving. MOAKSUN (8) resumed in the same race and finished ahead of the above. He also has more to give and is capable of using the inside barrier. Others have claims as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Magic Leprechaun.
