GOING: S(5)

CLUBSNSW HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.39)  

Perfumist and South Of India can be prominent. Tough way to end the day. SERGEANT MAJOR (16) resumes after being rewarded for his consistency when taking out the LR South Pacific over 1400m at Randwick last April. Fitted with the two trials and maps to stalk the good tempo. Each way. PERFUMIST (10) hunted out from the sticky gate and raced keenly in the middle stages when a fading sixth over 1200m at this track. Desperate for a firmer surface and expected to improve quickly. GATSBY'S (14) heavily supported as a gelding first up when presented at the right time, before failing to close off when fourth over 1200m at this course. Comes back a level and has a key jockey change. Worth another chance. SOUTH OF INDIA (9) returns from Victoria after holding on to run fifth in the LR Regal Roller over 1200m at Caulfield. At his top and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 16,10,14.
