Jewel Raceday Dome Package-C4 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Isolated Thunderstorms   Rail: Out 7m 1400-W/Post; Out 3m Remainder. (Pent: 4.49).  

Goodonya and Winter Passage may be the ones to run this along. WINTER PASSAGE won at Doomben three back and has been solid placing the two since at Eagle Farm. Races handy and will go close with the 3kg claimer going on. TZIPORAH resumes and brings strong form. Won comfortably four back on debut and has trialled here for this. She’s feared. GOODONYA SONJA brings city form from much stronger grade and the market likes her. SPLITTER resumes for Gollan and has trialled twice. Uses the low gate and has placed 2/2 FU. Expect a good return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Winter Passage.
