GOING: G(4)

ACCESS INSULATION SUNSHINE COAST Class 4 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.46)  

Strong tempo with Mississippi Morn and King Of The Jungle leading from I Miss Margie and Shako. The well-related SHAKO (1) (half to G2 winner Arcaded) goes well for hoop Martyn who has two wins and two placings from just five steers and again gets the benefit of her 2kg claim. Has only missed a quinella spot once in eight attempts over this track and trip and should be right there when the whips are cracking. SUPER ZAMBONI (3) strips fitter second-up from the spell and draws the inside marble. In the mix on the back of a last-start victory. KING OF THE JUNGLE (7) has been very competitive in all three runs this campaign and gets the services of Thornton in the saddle. Worth including. I MISS MARGIE (6) gets in light with the claim and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Shako.

Certainly worth another chance.
