GOING: S(6)

TAB PLATE 1250m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.54)  

Wa Wa Wa to take charge ahead of Miss Jones at a strong tempo. DYAMI (2) returned from a ten-month break with a gallant second last start over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Copped a little interference in the run home that day which may have been costly. Lightly raced gelding who will take a lot from that run and out to this trip can go one better. MARAIS (5) has been frustrating for connections, collecting nine minor placings in twelve appearances. Had a seven-week let-up before a last start fifth over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Strips fitter and this is a far more suitable journey. CINSAULT (8) was first-up for eleven months last start when she registered her sixth minor placing from as many runs, boxing on well for second over 1300m at the Farm. Draws a nice gate and gets her chance. MISS JONES (10) is another who will strip fitter today after a decent return at Warwick Farm recently and is not out of contention. WA WA WA (6) is next best at his first run back. Yet to miss the frame in three starts and a recent trial should have him ready to run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dyami is ideally placed to break through.
