GOING: S(5)

CORKHILL BROS HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +10m 1000m-380m, +7m Remainder. (Pent: 4.39)  

Genuine tempo with Siovy Dane and Wegotabetterhoffa up front. LA SIGNORA DANE (8) resumes and appeals. She's proven fresh and has won 2/2 this track/distance. Needs a good ride but leading course striker McDougall is booked and is building a sharp record with the Litt yard. JAZZ ALL KNIGHT (9) races forward, and no surprise to see her come back further improved. Draws well, and the 2kg claimer will position her forward. SIOVY DANE (5) likes to run along, and the in-form Loy rides. Has pieces of form that stack up. WEGOTABETTERHOFFA (1) resumes in easier and flies this track and distance. The gate is cruel, but she has a stack of early speed, and the 3kg claim brings her into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: With La Signora Dane.

Second-up. First-up after eight months ran last of 10 at Goulburn Bm58 on March 23 over 1000m, 8 len behind Pleasurize with 56.5kg at $41. Previously second-up made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Canberra Acton Mdn on June 14 over 1280m, neck behind Clendenning with 57kg at $8.50. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
