GOING: N

Kevin Sharkie 0 - 62 1350m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Only a moderate early tempo anticipated with no recognised leaders engaged. TURK BOY (3) resumed at Hobart with e near miss (further improved) and was too good here following as a short-priced favourite. The wide barrier needs managing but he can keep improving and should go close. CHICANE (6) disappointed as the favourite at Hobart but his form here the two efforts prior stack right up. Peaks on a 7-day return but needs a good ride from the outside gate. EXALTED CROWN (4) impressed winning easily here over a mile. Has to come back to a sprint but should secure a soft run but the in-form Pires takes over from the 3kg apprentice. He can win again without surprise. EASTCOAST MISS (9) resumes and would be a chance if presented on-song. Gets in well with the 3kg claim but also needs luck from the awkward gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Turk Boy.
