GOING: S

Catanach's Jewellers Handicap 1000m Track: SOFT 5 Clouds (Max: 15) Rail: True Entire Circuit.
Epic Centre and Wondereach will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Title Fighter and Princess Duhallow. Interesting race with RANVEER (5) resuming from a year-long spell. He only had one run last time in and ran second over this track and distance. Go back to his 3yo days and he was mixing it with some of the better sprinters of his generation. He's won a jump-out leading in for local trainer Matt Laurie and draws ideally. Watch the market. TITLE FIGHTER (11) will find this far easier than first-up behind star filly Estriella. Can improve. MANHATTAN THUNDER (7) won well at Cranbourne last time. Should measure up again here. LADY DI DI (8) struggled down the straight last time but is in this based on her first-up win. PRINCESS DUHALLOW (12) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ranveer on top.
