GOING: S

Sinclair Wilson BM70 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.96).  

Ice Symphony should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. LE PARRAIN (7) resumes. He's a lightly raced 3yo who won nicely on debut at Gosford on debut before being beaten just 1.8 lengths in a listed race at Randwick. Has trialled well leading in and should go close in this. JUST WATCH ME (12) resumes. She was a narrow maiden winner on debut last time in before two sound efforts at this track. Like her at the 1000m. NASRAAWY (3) has the talent to figure in this fresh. RIVKIN (2) resumes and is certainly up to these at his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Le Parrain to win.
