GOING: S

Sportsbet Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1205m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m 1550m-500m; True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo. METEORITE (4) has been out of form for some time and should have finished a lot closer than he did last time out after getting held up at a vital stage. He is not the most reliable but strikes a very soft field here and with 3-kilos less to carry this time, he can turn it all around. Each-way value. CORK HARBOUR (10) has been mixing his form but his best recent effort was on this track 3 starts back when he finished runner-up by a neck. Include in all combinations. MISS GATSBY (11) has not had much luck with some wide gates recently and from a slightly better draw this time, she is capable of running into the money. DUBAI NIGHTS (1) bounced back to form with a third place run at Murray Bridge. Can keep form and looks ready to run well again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Meteorite each-way.
