GOING: G(4)

The WIN Network Olympians Class 2 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   True  

Starnote is the likely leader at a slick tempo. SANDUAL (3) won the CL1 here and then came back beaten a whisker this grade/trip. Should get the perfect sit from an inside barrier and can bounce back. SUSHI EXPRESS (2) resumed in the same race and just missed. He hasn't missed a beat and won't have to improve much to threaten. STARNOTE (6) peaks and has been around the mark since the first-up 60 win at Hobart. Has been briefly freshened and will likely control the race. CAPITAL CHEVAL (1) resumes off a heavily bet CL1 win and brings a sharp trial. Maps for the run of the race and is likely to be further improved. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sandual.
