GOING: S(5)

JACK & CO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1312m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo set by Satono Invader and She's So Fly. SATONO INVADER (7) was an easing favourite on debut when a tenacious on pace second over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Expected to have taken great benefit from that run and looks the one to beat from the good gate. RIVER BISCOTTE (16) at his top now fourth up and down in the weights with the winkers coming off. Drifted back further than anticipated and battled late when fourth over 1200m at Port Macquarie. Luke Rolls keeps the ride and expect to see him push forward from the sticky gate. TAKE A BREAK (18) eleven-start maiden who drops 3.5kg for this after knocking up late when fourth over 1200m at Tuncurry in the heavy going. Firmer track helps his cause and goes well here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Satono Invader can go one better.
