GOING: G

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo from Bold Bordeaux leading Lady Verity. LADY VERITY (7) was a very smart maiden winner first up at Geelong, justifying the $1.45 starting price with an easy victory, landing in a good spot and showing a sharp turn of foot to put the race away. She can track up behind the speed from the inside gate and go right on with it here. TAN TAT DELIGHT (5) got her maiden out of the way at her second start at Kilmore with a dominant win, scoring by three lengths as favourite. Bit harder here but she's going the right way and can win again. CAVERN (3) was okay at Caulfield Heath last time off the back of a good maiden win. Got into a slightly tricky spot there and could now be an improver to 1200m. BOLD BORDEAUX (1) won narrowly on debut at Kyneton in a tough effort. He can land in front here and take plenty of catching down the dip. OFF THEIR PERCH (4) resumes with some claims having won well on debut. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Verity to win.
