GOING: S(6)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1500m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.53)  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Portofino and Navy Buoy leading the charge. RED RAGS TO BULLS (7) back marker deep into the campaign and out to her pet trip. Surged late from near last on the turn with a close-up fifth over 1400m at this track. Leading apprentice retains the mount and a win looks imminent. GIAPPONESE (5) Ballina-trained colt with the upside to win this second-up. Found the 1350m too sharp first-up with a fast finishing fifth over 1350m at Doomben in BM70 grade. Comes to hand quickly and will need a good ride from the gate. Each way. HAMMOON SENSATION (4) racing well in this company and has the early gate speed to get across from the wide barrier. Anchored with the 58kg for a tenacious on-pace third from the inside gate over 1400m at this track. Stays in the calculations. SAINTLY SANDS (12) starting to hit her straps this prep after defeating inferior opposition by big margins. Senior rider hops on and can play a role today. SHEZAIN (14) bounced back to winning form at Nowra after disappointing in this class two-back. Deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,4,12.
