GOING: S(5)

TAB HIGHWAY PLATE 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.43)  

Pensativa to push forward on the fence and lead a race lacking pace. PREMISE (14) having her fourth run for the Matt Dunn yard and finds her race, despite drawing out. Looking for this trip now after failing to sprint with them in the straight when seventh over 1350m at Ipswich. Brings superior figures and this is the weakest contest she's contested for some time. Goes close. IN SUMMER (6) progressive mare who closed off strongly at her first run back when a tenacious second over 1400m at Newcastle. Undefeated at this track and trip and gets the right tempo to surge late. RED RAGS TO BULLS (7) racing in career best form and rewarded for her consistency when she launched late to salute over 1500m at Rosehill in this class. Gets a similar set-up with Osmond retaining the ride. PENSATIVA (15) has her hoof on the till and must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Premise to score an overdue victory.
