GOING: H(8)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Plate 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

The race lacks early speed so doubt they will go too hard. MISS LOLA (12) looks nicely placed off an encouraging return at Moe, well in the market there and just going down by a nose with a huge gap back to third. They ran strong time there and it said she won't be a maiden long. That form didn't quite work out last week in tougher but this looks very winnable. SONIC SURGE (8) resumes for his second campaign. He's been jumping out very nicely and did run a good third on debut. Wary with Zahra booked but don't love the map. PRAY TELL (5) is a gelding by Toronado on debut for the Freedman yard who has jumped out well enough to figure with Mott booked. TAGAMATE (9) is going well with back-to-back placings and can figure again from NINETYFIVEINAFIFTY (13) who is also going well and should be in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Lola to win.
