GOING: G(4)

GORDONS PINK GIN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.40)  

Plenty of pace from Treasured Queen, Pearly Nuggett and Twist Of Gold matching motors ahead of Oscar Charlie. Competitive witht the Peter Fernie yard holding the key. TWIST OF GOLD (5) built on a nice second two starts back with a win over 1200m. Stepping up a level this time, but gets the jockey switch to Fioro and she rates to go right on with the job. TREASURED QUEEN (3) is a leader who folded up last time in stronger. Won and just missed the two prior and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. Can get back on track, PEARLY NUGGETT (1) runs along and seeks the hat-trick. Keeps the 1.5kg claim, and she also deserves plenty of consideration. OSCAR CHARLIE (2) is racing well and also has claims in a good contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Twist Of Gold.
