GOING: S(5)

FARM & CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS Class 6 Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: True Entire Course..  

Expecting a genuine tempo. JUST SUPER (2) loves this sprint trip with three wins and three placings from just eight attempts and has a very handy first-up record. Best figures put him right in the finish while fresh. PALAZZO SPIRIT (3) hails from a handy family (half to Listed winner and G3 placed Catoggio) and gets the benefit of Orr's 2kg claim. Can improve sharply on that latest failure. FINE SHOT (1) got the job done around this circuit at the latest outing and winning rider Semmens sticks in the saddle. Include from the inside marble. GROWL (7) has placed two from two at this track and doesn't know how to run a bad race. One for the exotics players. PRETTY SLICK (9) saves her best form for this distance range and may trouble the judge with any luck in running. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Super to return a winner.
