GOING: G(4)

SUPER HELPFUL FOR THE KOSCIUSZKO PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.18).  

Solid tempo with several going forward . A good race. HOOLIGAN TOMMY (2) was quickly back on track winning a Scone Maiden stepping up to this trip. The gate is awkward but JVO stays aboard. Fitter again he can take the next step. ILOVENEWS (12) has threatened all three runs this preparation at the provincials. The form stacks right up and he maps for a soft on-pace run. Penza is a positive jockey booking. Neasham-Archibald-trained KAFFIR LILY (14) surprised the market when beaten just 1.3L in on debut. She impressed finishing the race off stoutly. She is sure to keep improving and Collett is a positive jockey booking. She gets off SHISUTA BO (9) who'd be a chance on her Newcastle effort two back. Maps for a soft run and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Hooligan Tommy.
