SKY RACING GUNSYND CLASSIC - GROUP 3 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.82)  

Just Feelin' Lucky to take charge ahead of Think Like Paddy at a good tempo. The $200,000 Group 3 Gunsynd Classic. EMIRATE (3) was a touch disappointing on face value in the Gold Coast Guineas when resuming but will have derived a bunch of benefit from that hit-out. Had been competing in much harder Group 1 and 2 contests when last in work and is worth another chance against this line-up. JUST PARTY (2) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the close-up second in the Hawkesbury Guineas when first-up. Gets Rawiller back on from the inside alley and should be going very close. JUST FEELIN' LUCKY (9) has been racing consistently in lesser grade and has earned her shot at this level now. Top-three aspirations. PISCES (1) has been thereabouts at the past three efforts and looks one for the multiples. FLYING EMBERS (8) has won three of four this campaign and it's hard to knock fillies in form. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Emirate to bounce back.
