GOING: G(4)

JRC ELECTRICAL SERVICES MTC GUINEAS - 3YO BENCHMARK 74 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Cayman Island should find the front with Spread The Love and Cosmic Avenger on his heels. BLUE MONDAY (5) was an impressive winner fresh on his home track and then turned in a strong effort when thrown into G3 company at Randwick. He’s peaking now and only needs to hold that level to be very hard to beat. DUSTY BAY (1) has good tactical speed and draws the absolute A1. He’s ticking along nicely and will give them something to catch. COULTER (4) was less effective last time in town in the G3 Frank Packer Plate after getting too far back and never coming on, but this is significantly easier and his prior form measures up. HIP HIP OLE (6) was a tough winner of the Prelude here 12 days ago and is another progressive one for Nick Olive. Keatings sticks, and the rise to the mile is the query but not beyond her. VOTING RIGHTS (3) failed to fire first up in town but has since trialled well. She’s from a sharp stable and is one to keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Monday to win.
