GOING: S(5)

STAR TURN AT VINERY CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m from 1280m to 300m cutaways applies.  

Strong tempo with Not Written Off, Miss Rebel and Singing Star leading the way. BAKHITA (4) failed to bounce off her good third two back in this class, after failing to handle the heavy (9) conditions when twelfth over 1200m at Randwick. Well placed for this and capable of taking this out on the firmer track. SO YOU SUGGEST (5) trained locally and racing in career best form. Launched late with a dominant victory over 1100m at Mudgee. Can keep the winning momentum going from the good draw. MISS REBEL (1) big jump in grade when a fading tenth to Zealously over 1100m at Scone in BM78 grade. Proven at this level and has a good record at this track and trip. EXECUTIVE DECISION (2) sent to town when chasing his third straight win, before failing to get into the contest when a dismal ninth over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Sharp improvement expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,5,1,2.
