|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Genuine tempo with the speedy Cool Jakey leading the way. COOL JAKEY (3) tough on pace gelding having his third start within the month. Back in grade and his best performances are on rain-affected tracks. Solid top three contender. GALLANT STAR (7) smart Dubbo-trained gelding who gave his all with the 59kg when fourth over 1400m at Randwick in the Country Championship. Form has since been franked and gets some nice weight relief with Roper's claim. Capable of playing a leading role. The O'Shea and Charlton trained CAPTAIN AMELIA (15) is second up and should be an improver. MOBY DICK (10) is the other that can improve. Too far back last time but should be in touch around here and has the talent. SUGGESTED PLAY: Map looks a big plus for Cool Jakey.
