GOING: S(5)

IRRESISTIBLE POOLS AND SPAS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Jamais, Kimberley Secrets and Tequila Baby can set a strong tempo. UNLEESHING (7) resumes for Bjorn Baker and owns a Canterbury trial win. She's been away for almost a year but showed a stack of promise in her last preparation and should naturally improve. Maps well and looks ready to go. Nick Olive-trained KIMBERLEY SECRETS (1) had threatened numerous times in town before returning to Canberra beaten a whisker in Open grade over this distance. She led in that and today has Keating's handy 3kg claim. Gives herself every chance and with the race fitness will be hard to beat. TEQUILA BABY (4) deserved her win at Canterbury and then presented here this grade/trip as a $3.6F and didn't finish it off (vet cleared). She's back after 14 days and is worth another chance. KILKENNY (6) has upside and may be the value proposition. Resumed further improved beaten a nose at Canterbury and has been kept on the fresh side. The blinkers are applied for the first time, signalling intent. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unleeshing has the numbers and should be ready to go.
