GOING: S

Jenharwill Cossar Farms Handicap 1500m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Just a moderate tempo given the absence of pacy gallopers. Couple of 2YO races to start the day, the first being a smaller field where all but two have raced. HEIWANA TAMASHI (4) and BAYOU MUSIC (2) come through the same race and there's no reason why Heiwana Tamashi can't again have the Godolphin colt's measure. Heiwana Tamashi raced in restricted room for much of the straight and while easily held by the winner, he was still able to beat home Bayou Magic, who seemed to have every chance. GABLE (1) is the only winner in the race and has already been tested in Stakes grade, albeit well-held, so certainly comes under consideration. DEKKA'S LATEST (3) is on debut and has looked sharp enough in jumpouts much shorter than the debut assignment, which can be considered a positive. AGGRESSIVE (5) will be better for the debut and suited out in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heiwana Tamashi to win.

Useful type. Most recently 5th of 12 at Flemington 2yo Hcp on May 17 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Highvol with 56.5kg at $26. The start before that from last on the turn 8th of 10 at Flemington in the LR Anzac Day Stks on April 25 over 1400m, 4 len behind Highvol with 56kg at $13. Nice effort last time. Nicely placed and is all set to make amends.
