GOING: S(6)

CHASE THE DREAM PLATE 1250m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 12)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Rosa Incanta leading Sequista. SEQUISTA (9) has shown ability in all three career starts and looks perfectly placed here. Trapped wide early second up before sitting outside the leader when a plugging fifth to Agarwood over 1200m at Randwick in the heavy conditions. Gets the gun ride today and will take catching with Tim Clark aboard. ROSA INCANTA (8) excellent debut in the heavy (9) conditions when a narrow third over 1100m at this track. Has further improvement to come and can slide across from the sticky gate. Genuine contender. LONG LEGS (5) surprised at ($21) on debut when a flashing nose second over 1100m at this track. Looking for the extra journey now and no shock to see her take this out. THE PEARLS (11) wound up strongly on debut after failing to go with them early when second over 1100m at Warwick Farm. J Mac rides and will be strong late from the awkward gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sequista to appreciate the drop in grade.
