GOING: G(4)

Simon Tolley The Vintage (Heat of Adelaide in Autmn Series) 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Pace genuine with Second To Nun and East Indiaman pressing hard closely followed by Texan Windstorm and Pegasi. MY KHALIFA (2) missed the kick last start which proved costly. Comes in on the fresh side but has kept the legs ticking over with a solid trial here between runs. Has a devastating turn of foot on his day and will take a power of beating if he brings his A-Game. CHICAGO STORM (1) is cut from the same cloth as My Khalifa. He was far from disgraced when resuming in the City of Marion, despite finishing ninth. Goes well second up but is drawn ugly. Watch for him climbing over their backs at the business end. ANILLA (5) was only fair when resuming at Moonee Valley but the form from the race has stuck up with the winner giving Imperatriz a run for her money in the G1 William Reid. Is another that is drawn sticky but deserves respect on best figures. SECOND TO NUN (4) has been up or a while but continues to make a solid account of herself, the last two at Listed level. Drawn to advantage and should be in this for a long way. PEGASI (7) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing My Khalifa to win.
