GOING: S(5)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

African Daisy should lead at a strong tempo. JAMBALAYA (14) consistent gelding who can return to winning form over the 1200m from the inside gate. Tagged the speed and failed to close off in the soft (6) going when fourth over 1100m at Randwick. An improving surface can see him get the job done. FLIGHTCREW (12) another who jumps in trip with her hoof on the till. Three weeks between runs when she came out quickly before knocking up late when sixth over 1100m at Randwick in this grade. Can sit on the pace from the draw and not without top four claims. AUDREY'S LANE (13) underrated mare with sound first-up form. Returns with the two searching trials and can go on with it today. MAILATA (3) resumes and will appreciate the class drop with the blinkers coming off. Fitted with the one trial placing over 822m and look for him launching late. AFRICAN DAISY (1) handy Midway mare resuming who saves her best for this course and distance. Given the two trials and will benefit with Nock's claim from the inside draw. Value chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 14,12,13,3,1.
