GOING: G

Quayclean Plate 1200m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 15) True Entire Circuit
Plenty of pace from the outset with Djawara and Gator leading the charge. GATOR (4) after getting checked at the start recovered well to race up on the speed last start to finish third of eight over 1200m at Caulfield Heath when sent out at long odds. He will find this field a lot easier to compete against and jumping from the inside gate rates well as a leading chance. DJAWARA (11) after racing up on the speed found the lead but was outrun late, finishing fourth of nine over 1300m at Cranbourne last start. Having her third run this prep will strip a lot fitter and racing over a slightly shorter trip could prove hard to peg back. HURRICANE KETUT (5) resumed from a spell last start over 1200m at Bairnsdale and after racing in behind the speed battled on well to finish third of 12. Will strip fitter today and having placed previously when produced second-up is well worth considering. AMERICAN RUSS (1) after jumping from a wide gate last start finished third of 14 over 1200m at Echuca when sent out at long odds. Having his third run this prep and can place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gator rates well as a winning chance.
