GOING: G(4)

Yulong VOBIS Gold Sprint 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Jigsaw leading the way. JIGSAW (1) comes back from a successful NZ trip having won the G1 Railway Stakes at Ellerslie when last seen. He's found a rich vein of form of late, winner of his past four, and you could argue all were against better opposition than he finds here. To counter that, he is off 7 weeks and has 61kg, but he finds a fairly easy lead and he may just be too talented for them. NDOLA (4) is the 'weights' horse, dropping 5kg from a win at Flemington. He was strongest late there, but staying at 1200m and back around a bend is a slight niggle. SHE'S BULLETPROOF (2) was just fair first up in the G1 Oakleigh Plate, a race she ran second in last year. Not sure she's going that well but on her day she'd give it an almighty shake. IMMORTAL STAR (5) next best from RAIKOKE (8) but both would need clear new peaks to be challenging the top few. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Jigsaw.

Second run back. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after two months won by 0.8 len at Ellerslie G1 Sistema Railway January 24 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Arkansaw Kid with 57kg at $7.90. Previously second-up won by a nose at Cranbourne Hcp October 10 over 1200m defeating Hedged carrying 59.5kg at $11. Big chance to add to the picket fence. Class horse who might just be too good from the top.
