GOING: S(6)

SJC FOUNDATION 3YO 1200m

Track: SOFT5     Out 9m  

The race pace looks not too bad in this opening 3yo only event. DOMAIN ACE (1) was a Listed winner last season so has the quality. Senior rider on and he has won both races on the gelding. Win chance for sure. BEAU LUCA (7) he is a class dropper in this. Top tier threat on dry or wet ground. Also in R2 where sixth ballot. GROVE STREET (3) is a multiple class dropper here on last start. Chance after a 2kg claim. CHICAGO JACK (2) he won well fresh up. Has been Listed placed behind the top pick in this field last season. Drawn out. SUIT YOURSELF (6) dual trial winner before debut and has raced super since for a second then a win (here). Can cope in a harder field. Ace gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Domain Ace and Beau Luca are win wagers.
