GOING: G(4)

CATANACH'S JEWELLERS HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: +3m Entire Course.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Hurstville Zagreb leading the way. COSMIC LAD (10) came from a long way back in the corner to blouse Perfect Play by a narrow margin when they met at Kembla recently. No adjustment in the weights but this fellow is seven runs into the prep and probably cannot improve. Still looks the biggest danger on current form. SEVEN'S (3) comes back in trip after failing over 1800m at Rosehill last time out. Cherry ripe after three runs back and this looks his right race. I'VE BEAN TRYIN' (1) bolted in at Kembla last time. The heavy track may have been flattering but he can also produce on top of the ground. Must be considered. HURSTVILLE ZAGREB (4) resumes and protects a 100% career top three strike rate. Sure to make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Lad to win.
