GOING: G(4)

TATTERSALLS SPRINT OPEN Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.10)  

A strong tempo is assured with Pocket Full and Letmeletgo leading the charge. JOY A PLENTY (12) won two runs ago over 1100m at Ipswich then had a seven-week break and dropped back to 1000m when an eye-catching third at the Gold Coast last start. Will take a lot from that outing and the step up to 1200m is ideal. The testing material. DON PEDRO (10) continued his excellent form this time in work when edged out in open company over 1400m here a fortnight ago. Nicely drawn and seems well treated on 55.5kgs. PRIDE OF VENUS (9) has been on or about the mark at her last four runs, the latest a desperately close second in open company over 1300m at Mackay. Yet to miss the frame in six Rocky starts, including four wins. Just needs luck from the wide alley to be highly competitive. BOLD COMIC (11) failed first-up at Doomben but this is a far easier assignment. Makes plenty of appeal with the help of an inside alley. LETMELETGO (2) has four wins and three placings from eight runs here at this trip. Fresh from a 45-day break and certainly in contention. SUGGESTED PLAY: Joy A Plenty each-way.

The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Eagle Farm Bm85 on March 21 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind About To Explode carrying 59kg at $7. Capable of mixing it with these while fresh.

Very tough to beat on the limit back out to 1200m.
