GOING: S(6)

THE AGENCY REAL ESTATE HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +11m 1000m-W/Post, + 8m Remainder . (Pent: 5.45)  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Signor Tortoni leading the way. CODETTA (1) finally drawn a low gate and expect to see her race closer with Wadick aboard. Raced without cover when attacking the line late with a game third over 1300m at Rosehill. Brings the right figures to turn the tables on them today. Hard to stop. DIDDLE DUMPLING (2) has come back a more polished filly this prep and is capable of making it three straight wins with Stanley's 3kg claim. Took control early from the awkward draw when holding off her rivals with a smart win over the 1300m at Rosehill. Fitter now and goes close. COSMEENA (9) massive jump in grade when almost pinching it with a fighting on the speed second over 1400m at this track in BM78 grade. Gets Owen's claim again and not to be underestimated. SIGNOR TORTONI (3) progressing quickly through his grades and is adept in all conditions. The extra trip won't pose a problem but he will have to work early to slide across. Each way. STARDEEL (4) desperate for this trip fourth up and not to be overlooked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Codetta to score a long overdue victory.
