GOING: S(5)

CACTUS IMAGING HANDICAP 1900m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Nkosi may lead the way over Unleeshing. UNLEESHING (3) was a month between runs when up sharply in grade from the wide gate with a plugging fifth over 1600m at Randwick in the G3 Aspiration last Saturday. Should have little trouble running the 1900m and expect to see her a little closer in the run. Can bounce back. TAZIMA (4) has needed the two runs back after bumping into some progressive stayers last campaign. Kept up to the mark with a 1050m tick over trial and the booking of J Mac from the low draw is a good lead. THE WESTERN FRONT (5) comes up from Victoria in good order. Well ridden from the wide gate with a tough win over 2025m at Cranbourne. Williams keeps the ride and sure to be thereabouts. ICEMAN (6) can deliver fourth-up after running on late over unsuitable trips in Highway class. Nash sticks from the right barrier and gets every chance. SUPER HELPFUL (2) on the quick back-up after he warmed up late when ninth in the National Sprint over 1400m at Canberra last Sunday. Keep safe at the big odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Unleeshing in a fairly open contest.
