The Playboy Bomber

J: N Nastili ⁹

T: A G Laird

Finished ahead of Feel All Right when winning by three-quarters of a length two months ago over this distance at Turffontein Inside in what looked an up-to-scratch handicap; aiming to complete a hat-trick and seems to be progressing nicely; handicapper increases the burden but this only his second handicap outing; drops in class and likely to be a leading contender

THE PLAYBOY BOMBER looks the one to back. He is open to improvement and must have every chance over a distance that suits. Laughing William is possibly starting to look exposed while Open Highway has winning CD form, and Peace Treaty is likely to be popular with punters.
