KINGS HALL JEWELLERS SHOWCASE SILVER GOBLET - 2YO HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Josephine to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. JOSEPHINE (3) showed blistering speed from the outset when leading throughout on debut for a comfortable victory over 1000m at Gunnedah. Backs up quickly and will prove hard to run down again. FOUR DEGREES (1) bounced off his good first-up minor placing with a fast-finishing win over 1200m at Inverell. Jumps in weight for this and will be strong late. Each way. BE SHARP (4) big rise in class at her second race start when a plodding eleventh over 1100m in the LR Woodlands Stakes at Scone. This looks much easier and assess on her good debut placing. BLUE DE BEERS (2) Blue Point colt from a Lonhro mare on debut for the Clint Lundholm yard. Has run time in both trials and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Josephine to take catching.
