GOING: G(4)

GALLAGHER INSURANCE BROKERS CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Dolly to utilise the low draw and lead a moderate early tempo. DOLLY (7) lengthened in great style to get off the mark here last start. Gets some slight weight relief and is drawn to advantage. Bold showing anticipated. JOEY D'OR (1) justified the short quote at Orange. Clearly has his share of ability and is from a sharp stable. Can win again. FUTURE FUND (5) followed up his eye-catching first-up run with a barnstorming maiden win here last start. Further improvement to come and is sure to be charging hard late. SEBASTIAN'S FLYER (3) is capable of much more than his fresh performance suggests. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Dolly. Small play Sebastian's Flyer.
