GOING: H

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Plate 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Winter Hail and Magic Money possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. WINTER HAIL (15) was well supported on debut at Seymour, showing early speed and sticking on well for second. Should have taken plenty of improvement from that and can go one better. EVERAIN (1) resumes for his second campaign, not far away on debut at Ballarat in a strong race. Wary. PARTY BENEFITS (10) was better here last time and has each way claims while WELCOMETODETROIT (4) wasn't far away on debut and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Winter Hail.
