GOING: G(4)

Jess Jones Real Estate Class 2 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Medals and Master Gee possess good early speed and will battle for early honours. MEDALS (3) is a very progressive gelding that has been handled patiently thus far in his career. He is unbeaten in 2 starts on this track, including his last start here 3 weeks ago when leading all the way to score by over 3 lengths. He had plenty left up his sleeve that day and with the advantage of a good draw, he is the one to beat again. GREAT BARRIER REEF (1) won a trial before finishing last fresh up at Ipswich on a track that was too heavy for him. He showed his preference for a better surface when winning by over a length at the Sunshine Coast nearly 5 weeks ago and has also won a trial at Doomben since then. Hard to beat from the pole position. EYE WANTED (9) ran on late to finish runner-up behind the top pick. He strips fitter and can figure in the finish again. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Medals to win.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; scored a big 4 len win at this track Cl1 August 17 over 1000m in soft going defeating Eye Wanted with 60kg at $2.30. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 10 at Sunshine Coast Cg&E Cl1 on August 4 over 1000m, 1.4 len behind Great Barrier Reef with 58.5kg at $6.50. Rates highly here and should be right in the mix again.
