GOING: H(10)

BRANDONS ELECTRICAL GOLD COAST GUINEAS 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.48).  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with a number of speedy beginners engaged, most notably Bases Loaded and Jungle Prince. The $200,000 Group 3 Gold Coast Guineas. CORNICHE (3) is a consistent performer who is yet to miss the top-five in eight outings to date, mostly at Group and Listed level. Will be at his peak now fourth-up and gets J Mac on top to navigate from the sticky alley. Deserves another win. ROLL ON HIGH (14) hasn't been too far off them in quality affairs down south and is sure to be primed to the minute from the Moody/Coleman camp. Respect. CELUI (4) led them a merry dance at Caulfield and will take a lot from that victory. Solid winning claims. XIDAKI (6) draws the inside marble and may take that next step now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Corniche to win.
