GOING: G(4)

THE @JACKLEIGHH INSTA STAKES Class 1 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Fast pace assured with Say When Sutty, Zanjeer and Darth Invader leading the charge. DECORATIVE (10) missed a whisker in a stronger at the Sunshine Coast first-up and then folded up from the speed here over 1300m when well supported and likely had excuses. Drops back to a shorter sprint fitter and deserves another chance. Stablemate DARTH INVADER (1) resumes and has placed 2/2 fresh. Was a big Maiden winner here two back and has a low gate with Butler aboard. Likely to feature. OCEAN JOY (9) is third up and should be ready to show more like her best NSW form. Has a handy 2kg claim and will push forward. Good enough. ZANJEER (5) resumes and has the blinkers applied for the first time. Draws low and likes to run along. Has plenty of scope for improvement. MY SICADA (14) peaks and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Decorative each-way.
