GOING: S(5)

SAUNDERS MOTOR GROUP CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +5m 1000m - 300m; Then Cutaway, True Remainder .  

Keen tempo with Straight Sets and Yes Yes Boss prominent. MISS ORTH (6) belied the huge quote ($101), when finishing over the top of them with a gritty maiden win over 1000m at Scone. Confidence is high now and can go on with the job. STRAIGHT SETS (3) speedy filly who returned for her second campaign with a tough on-pace win over 900m at Newcastle. Finds a fairly weak Class 1 and will take catching. OCEAN JOY (2) drops back a few levels after struggling to finish her races off. No match for Shambretta when the pressure went on and could only manage fifth over 900m at Newcastle. Winning rider back on and no shock to see her take this out. SILVER CHAIR (5) returned from a lengthy spell with a convincing maiden victory over this trip at Dubbo. Has claims in this stronger race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,3,2.
