GOING: G

Gawler Arms Hotel Maiden Plate 1208m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: Out 3m 1600-400 True remainder.  

She Rex to take up the running with Yarrawizardharry and Illustrates close at hand. Good contest. DISCREETLY BLUE (1) was well supported fresh and looked a genuine threat when they quickened but just lacked a fitness edge late. Has been kept fresh with 39 days and is sure to have come on from that. Looks the one to beat with Holder sticking. SHE REX (12) showed good tactical speed when resuming at headquarters, only to be claimed late. Better for that and will prove harder to reel in this time. SAHHA SWEETIE (11) left herself with too much to do on debut here two weeks ago but did finish full of running. Will appreciate the added trip and if she settles closer she can fight out the finish. YARRAWIZARDHARRY (5) comes through the same race as She Rex, where he was doing his best work late. Meets her better at the weights this time and is a genuine hope to turn the tables. MINATO (10) beat home Sahha Sweetie first-up when resuming after 704 days. Vulnerable to a flat second-up run off such a long break but deserves respect nevertheless. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Discreetly Blue to win.
