GOING: G(4)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS CLASS 3 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Sparklenglitter and Xspiritous leading from Siovy Dane. SPARKLENGLITTER (6) couldn’t have been more impressive in her first two starts. Never looked in danger last time out at Nowra and is clearly a filly on the rise/. Possesses natural pace and a sharp turn of foot to match. From a favourable draw, she's the one to beat again. XSPIRITOUS (7) has been knocking on the door and was game in defeat last time when a close second at Goulburn. Drawn well and can apply some pressure to the fav. HURRICANE THUNDER (4) resumes from a spell and often runs well fresh. Keep an eye for him late if the leaders overdo it early. NEVER FAILS (2) chased gamely to just miss here two starts ago. Not as effective last start in town but can get things back on track. CASSIMIR (8) was much better last start at Leeton. This is tougher, but he warrants respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sparklenglitter to win again.
