GOING: G(4)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 5.16)  

Expecting a strong gallop with Stormbringer and Sacred Mistress taking up the running over Age Of Aquarius. Another tough Highway. NAVY BUOY (9) rapidly improved gelding since joining the Paul Snowden stable. Deserves his chance at this level after running his rivals into the ground over this trip at Tuncurry in C1 class. Drops in weight and can surprise some of his more fancied rivals. SANTATIME (1) looked the winner before being nailed late by Mount Bona when second over 1500m at Rosehill. Can get cover from the draw and stamp his class late. Sure to be thereabouts. MOUNT BONA (2) exciting mare who needs to raise the bar again with the steep weight rise from the wide barrier. Held up in the straight before sprinting quickly once into the clear for a determined win over 1500m at Rosehill. Can win again if the breaks go her way. ROSES IMMINENTE (10) improving mare who strips fitter after resuming with an eye-catching third over 1350m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Well placed to feature again. STORMBRINGER (6) hard fit now and expect to see him push forward for this and give a ton of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Buoy each-way in a difficult contest.
