TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1200m Track: HVY10 Rain (Max: 14) Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.90) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo set by Without Parallel and Via Vegas. Unbeaten mare WITHOUT PARALLEL (5) returned from a 21-week spell at Eagle Farm a fortnight ago and just did enough after leading from the outset. Should cope with the prevailing conditions and she looks nicely in after Roper's claim. Big chance to keep the record intact. MARTINI MUMMA (3) is a smart mare who showed a glimpse of form last time out, making up good ground to grab third over this course and distance. Could be the danger with winkers going on for the first time. Lightly raced four-year-old WINNING EMOTIONS (17) shouldered 58kgs to win a Class 1 over 1000m at Warren recently. Drops to the limit today and should be ready for a return to 1200m. Must be respected. KING TAURUS (12) won by panels on the Canberra Acton Friday week ago at the fourth run of the campaign. Different story this time but the authority of that win is hard to ignore. XANADU MISS (16) is going well on the country/provincial circuit and doesn't mind it heavy so with the light weight she is on the radar. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Without Parallel.
