GOING: S(6)

HORIZON BY SKYCITY 2200m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5m  

Giacomo should lead and control the tempo. DODDLE (6) won well at her last start in this very grade. She can handle the extra 2kg here as well. Well drawn this time and a repeat seems very likely. FLY MY WEY (1) is racing well this time in. Quinella and trifecta must here on dry or wet conditions importantly. GIACOMO (8) has been racing super for a while. Can lead up or race close so tactically can control this race if his rider chooses. Impossible to omit in this line-up. QUALITY TIME (3) he is a multiple-class dropper in this. Proven on dry and wet as well. Ace barrier in this field. NEST EGG (4) is also a multiple class dropper. Course proven. Stable is deadset flying. Chance and may well be at overs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doddle and Nest Egg are win wagers.
