GOING: S(7)

LOCKYER VALLEY DRAFTING DESIGNS Class 1 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: True.  

Only a moderate tempo with no recognised leaders engaged. SHEZA MARVEL (5) is having her first run for the Jack Bruce stable. Hasn't raced seven months but recorded a couple of placings at the NSW provincials last time in. Fitter for two trials, winning the latest. Could make a winning return. SIR CARTER (2) hasn't been far from the placings of late, last time finishing 3.4 lengths away in fifth over 1200m at Doomben. Finds the right race this time. MARLEEDOONE (10) doesn't win out of turn but rarely finishes too far away from the winner. Is yet to miss the frame over this journey and shapes as a serious contender. The resuming GALEKA (4) has saluted fresh before and is another that is worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: Playing the exotics around 5,2,10 and 4.
