GOING: S(7)

HAWAII FIVE OH @ VINERY STUD HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

The trio Mountain Top, Imposing Pier and Inferencia will set a strong tempo. Ciaron Maher's SISTERHOOD (12) settled worse than midfield then went through her gears nicely and finished on the heels of the placegetters last start over 1400m at this track. Gets to this trip for the first time but definitely needs it. Nice bet at huge odds. ARQANA (2) has raced twice since resuming, both times in tougher races at Flemington. Started favourite last time but was never a threat behind Verdad. Ready to improve at this stage of the prep, particularly back against midweek opposition. BIANCO VILANO (4) has been going well in better company, finishing a length ahead of Arqana at Flemington most recently. Freshened up deep into a prep and cannot be ruled out. IMPOSING PIER (7) just missed at Hawkesbury last start and can play a big role again with Tom Marquand taking over from a claiming apprentice. INFERENCIA (8) is airborne at present and must be respected despite jumping up in the weights. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sisterhood each-way.
