GOING: H(10)

JERSEY DAY ANDREW WISEMANTEL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.26)  

They should run this along with Harry's Bar and Lugh taking it up over Run Rory Run. KERGUELEN (2) just over a month between runs for this and since fitted with a 905m tick over trial. Comes out of a very strong race after surging late from back in the field when second to King Of Roseau over 1300m. Relishes the heavy going and finds his race today. IRON MAN (6) win record hardly excites, and another just over a month between runs. Hit the line with intent when a close up second to Yoshinobu over 1200m at Rosehill. Will be doing his best work late. POINT AND SHOOT (1) nice type who progressed quickly last preparation. Finished a respectable eighth in the G1 Australian Guineas over 1600m at Flemington last March. Has the two trials under the belt and look for him late. BOLTSAVER (9) holding form with the big weights in Victoria and looks perfectly placed for this in the going. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kerguelen to stamp his authority in the going.
