GOING: S

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 2400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Herrlich is the probable leader in the small field. Not the strongest BM70 and CROWN OF CATHERINE (6) is the 3yo filly with upside, coming off a dominant 7 length maiden win at Werribee. The daughter of Fiorente relished the step up to 2225m last time out, albeit in a highweight race. Looks capable of measuring up. HANAFUBUKI (5) has had three starts to date, winning her maiden two back before a solid effort at Cranbourne. This trip suits now and she should be competitive. HERRLICH (4) was a narrow maiden winner two back at Geelong before a sound effort at Flemington. This is easier. TAIKYU (3) next best with PURVEYOR (1) down in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Crown Of Catherine.
