SOUTHGATE INN PACE 1609m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 27) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

PEPPI GRATZ (1) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 18 metres away in ninth over 1609m at Newcastle. Has the benefit of a good draw. Won't find this any harder so he can return to form. SPARKLING SUE (7) has been most impressive of late and she made it two in a row when successful at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, getting home by 2.25 metres. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Tackles a similar assignment and she can add to her recent outstanding results. BRAVE BONDI (8) is better than his last-start eighth over 1609m at this track and is worth another chance. GALVARINO (4) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track on April 16.
