GOING: S

Darren Gauci Handicap 2000m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Speranzoso and Dschingis Prestige are likely to pair-off in front at a reasonable clip. QUANTUM CAT (4) is a lightly raced import now with Chris Waller who made his Australian debut at Mornington and ran well over 1600m, working home well into fourth. He's a dual winner over 2514m so the rise to 2000m now is ideal and this is easier than last time. ALBANIAN I AM (11) is coming off a soft win here over 1800m when getting a good run on speed. Finds another suitable race and should be in the finish again. FAGIN (13) brings the Sea What I See form from his past two which should hold up. MOVEFORLEX (6) next best. Well up to winning but does need a slice of luck from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quantum Cat on top.
