GOING: H(10)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Xtra Gear, Flying Destiny and Oakfield Badger leading the charge. NAVY BLOOD (7) underrated colt returning from a 62-day let-up. Covered ground from the wide draw when a tough fourth in the LR Canberra Guineas over 1400m on March 10. Since fitted with two searching trials and undefeated at this track. Looks great value at his current quote. SUMO STAR (17) trip suits and desperate for a change of luck. Resumed with a fast finishing third over 1100m at Rosehill in this grade on April 27. Stanley rides again with the claim and will prove hard to stop. EYE PEA OH (8) handy mare with a good record over this course and distance. Near her top now after powering late when fourth over 1100m at Rosehill two weeks ago. Look for her charging late from the sticky draw. SILVANITO (5) big ask second-up in the heavy (8) conditions when a plugging ninth over 1400m at Randwick in this company on April 20. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,17,8,5.
