GOING: S(7)

TAB HIGHWAY HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.05)  

Satin Stiletto has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SATIN STILETTO (3) just under six weeks between runs when giving some of her more fancied rivals a big fright at ($101), when a narrow sixth over 1100m in the LR Denise's Joy Stakes at Scone. Fitter now and the 3kg claim brings her right into contention. Goes close. SHROPSHIRE LAD (6) smart gelding who was heavily supported at his first run back when a gritty nose winner from the wide draw over 1100m at Scone. Winkers go on from the better gate and can win again. CARRIBEAN KING (8) kept fresh for this after launching late on the tight Gosford track when fourth over 1200m in this class. Track suits with the claim and will be strong late. OFF THE PRESS (13) progressive gelding resuming with a sound win record. Primed for this with two good trial wins and looks well in with Roper's claim. Maps well and gets his chance. VINOLASS (4) Canberra-trained mare expected to pull out a big run first up. Recent trial winner and looks good each way value. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,6,8,13.
