GOING: G

PFD Food Services Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m -W/P, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.5).  

Game Cove to set a strong clip. KINETIC JEWEL (9) returns. Was in good form last campaign but was probably up a run too long. Looks to have come on nicely during the break, hitting the line nicely behind an above-average one in a Balaklava trial. Wide alley to contest but she could just have a bit on these. COOL THE JETS (5) was also only even at the finish when first up. Is a two-time winner second up so a better run is anticipated. STORYTELLER (1) was a nice winner fresh but hasn't quite been able to go on with it. Is aided at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. In the mix. ESSEFFNINETY (2) resumes and has performed well fresh. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Kinetic Jewel to win.
