JESSE RILEY 2YO HANDICAP 1205m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, Cutaway Applies, True Remainder .  

Call To Courage should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. ISSY'S STAR (8) met with little support on debut last start but defied the market to finish runner-up 900m at Muswellbrook. Was strong through the line that day which suggests this trip will suit. Big chance to break the ice with the help of the inside draw. TOI TOI (12) raced handy and didn't shirk the task when beaten under a length on debut last time out over 1000m at the Sunshine Coast. Should progress off that run and is one of the chief contenders. CALL TO COURAGE (7) edged Toi Toi out of second spot when she made her debut at the Sunshine Coast recently. Speedy filly who has a wide gate to contend with but should give a great sight. ARCHIE MAXIMUS (3) started favourite but found a couple better on debut at Casino three weeks ago. In a strong yard and shouldn't be underestimated. COOL MOON (1) will find this a bit easier than her first-up third at Doomben. Promising filly who is a definite contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Issy's Star.
