GOING: S(7)

TAB HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.69)  

Moderate tempo expected with Huon likely to find the front over Golden Straand and Midnight Dynamite. POLYGLOT (8) the stars look to align today for this frustrating gelding with J Mac taking the reins. Steps out to the 1300m for the first time after returning good closing splits to the heavily supported Roselyn's Star when third over 1100m at Rosehill. Crunched in early betting and ready to win. GOLDEN STRAAND (7) has come on in leaps and bounds this prep and proven at the trip. Doesn't get the same map favours here but can get cover early. Up in weight after beating a few of these last start and not to be underestimated. MIDNIGHT DYNAMITE (11) has drawn the car park but keep safe with the blinkers going on. VERBIL (12) is racing well and draws to be competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Polyglot to score a well deserved victory.
