GOING: S(5)

R'TON MINI LOADS KEN RUSSELL MEMORIAL RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.63)  

Plenty of pace from Hey Jealousy, Hotchi and Outwitted primarily. HEY JEALOUSY (11) led them on a merry dance two weeks back at this track, and a similar performance might just be enough to win this again. Major contender. LONE ARTIST (4) has been given a bit of a freshen up and looks ready to win again after finishing in the frame in both runs this campaign. VICTORY'S GHOST (6) looks to be right around the mark and could finish over the top of these without surprising. BRANDS (3) only narrowly missed resuming and should improve from that. Do not dismiss. OUTWITTED (2) returned from a break last start with a win over 1200m at this track on May 22. Can contest for a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: No reason to jump off Hey Jealousy after a strong win last time.
