GOING: S(5)

Sportie's Hotel Class 1 Hcp 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.62)  

Solid tempo with Mayoral Privileges leading from Sir Jag and Van Scotia. Tough and the betting will be instructive. QUEEN OF MALWA (8) resumed in good order at Hobart and then went back and impressed from a wide gate beaten 1.3L. Draws handier today and Newitt stays aboard. Fitter and ready to win. VAN SCOTIA (13) is racing well and finds a tough easier. Maps for the run of the race and has been freshened. Pires takes over from the 2kg apprentice. KAKIA (2) raced favourite this track/trip two back beaten 1.3L and reckon his chances on that. OUR INDULGENCE (12) didn't have the best of it at Hobart last time but was good here prior. Needs a good ride but gets in light with the 3kg claim. WHIPPIN PICCADILLY (6) is better than the formline suggests. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Queen Of Malwa.
