GOING: S(5)

ELITE SAND & SOIL MORNINGTON SHOWCASE HANDICAP 2100m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: True.
Good early pressure with Aimpoint, Seahaven and Torowoto to vie for the lead. GULF OF TOMINI (2) tough gelding racing in great heart. Relished the heavy (10) conditions when a dominant 2.5 len winner over 2100m at Gosford on April 4. Drops in weight for this and has the figures to win again. AIMPOINT (3) desperate for a change of luck after finishing in the minor money at his last three outings. Sat on the speed with the 58kg when a fighting second over 2000m at Hawkesbury on April 18. The 2100m won't pose a problem and expected to figure prominently. FINE EXAMPLE (5) has needed the three runs in this prep and out to her right distance range today. Had two runs at this trip for two wins and expecting to see her bounce back to form with the 55kg. Can race closer and take holding out. NORMAN (8) win record hardly excites but has an okay record at this track. Will appreciate the drop in weight after holding on well with the 60.5kg when fourth over 1900m at Armidale. Senior rider on from the good gate. Value play. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gulf Of Tomini to win.
