GOING: S(5)

TBC DISTRIBUTION PLATE 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.21)  

Moderate tempo with Sunshine Law leading the way. Neasham-Archibald trained SUNSHINE LAW (11) peaks and she just missed this trip at Scone heavily bet. She races forward and will be tough to beat. GONE BANANAS (3) was beaten 1L at Hawkesbury and has plenty up his sleeve. He may sit closer today and is good enough. PERFECT JUSTICE (4) was a big Maiden winner here second-up and should enjoy the step up to the mile. He has more to give and can't be taken lightly. UNDER THE HOOD (6) is third-up for a form barn with more to give. Maps well and a bounce isn't out of the question. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Sunshine Law.
