Gawler   23 May 2018
 
GOING: S

Z-Wine Mdn Plate 1122m

Track: SOFT 5   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 5m 800m-400m. Out 2m Remainder. Sectional 606m.  

Limited exposed form so the speed map is speculative. Speculative how they settle. A tricky race to kick things off and the market will in-form. CHEZBLACK debuts off a good trial and gets a senior rider from the low draw. In good hands and expect a bold run in a winnable race. COOGEE DANCER debuts for the local yard and also draws low. Expect her to be wound up. SMART ALICK also debuts and is likely to be better than the trial suggests. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chezblack to win on debut off a solid trial.
