GOING: G

Honouring Our Jockeys Plate 2000m

Track: GOOD3   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Wolfess to roll forward and dictate terms. TRAPALANDA (8) was only second up when chasing Touchdown home there and meets him 6kg better off at the weights. That's significant and he'll relish 2000m but fancy the winner has even more to offer. WOLFESS (10) is going great guns of late, just run down late her past couple. She does no work here and should be right there. SUN GIFT (9) was a tough winner second up at Cranbourne and can go on with it while POLITELY DUN (7) is going well and can be flying late. STYLISH SECRET (5) showed good improvement second up. Has a sense of timing third run from a spell and getting out to the ten furlong journey. SUGGESTED PLAY: Trapalanda win bet.
