GOING:

KIDMAN WAY CITRUS PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD      

BOLD MEDLEY JUJON (2) has yet to miss a place in three starts here since joining Kevin Pizzuto including a strong win from a wide barrier two back. Brave last week when he led and stuck on for a 1.2m third. Draws to push forward again and could be hard to get past. CLASSIC ELEGANCE (3) made a winning return off a let-up when she led from wider and scored by 5.4m two back before she started favourite last week but raced wide and finished third. Draws to enjoy a better run so could bounce back to winning form. WAMBOYNEINAMERICA (1) drew very wide on his return to Sydney last week so was far from disgraced when beaten 4.3m. Mush better served by the ace draw. MICHAYWEY (5) led from this draw and faded last week but recorded a win and a placing in his previous two attempts at this circuit and distance so deserves another chance. HEZ DUSTY (8) worked from a similar draw last week and stuck onto go under by only 1.7m. Won two in a row prior so respect.
