GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 2500m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +7m 1200m-W/Post, +6m Remainder. Sectional 609 Metres. (Pent: 6.51)  

Dixie Whistler, Goliotus and Baby Rider to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. PARADISE STORM (3) must be a winning chance and looks the horse to beat if he can replicate what he did in SA last start. It's been a while between wins, but this looks a winning set-up. He should be able to settle closer from the good gate and up to 2500m and has shown he's got a big turn of foot when things go right. HIGH SOCIETY GIRL (7) is always an each-way chance in these sorts of races, especially on a rain-affected track. She's also drawn to get all the favours. INFINITY IMPERIAL (8) hit the line well at the end of 2100m, so the 2500m suits, while GOLIOTUS (2) is flying and is an obvious winning chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Paradise Storm to win.
