GOING: S(5)

ROSEMARY LEWIS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS PLATE 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 4.41)  

Zoucat is the probable leader in the small field. WOLF ISLAND (9) has been beaten a whisker his last three and improved again at Goulburn last time. The local has a key jockey switch to Cahill for this and finally draws an inside gate. The winkers go on for the first time and he's the one they have to beat. COMMON GOAL (1) stays in, and that augurs well for his chances. Resumed beaten a whisker at Nowra and has plenty of scope for improvement. ZOUCAT (8) has switched from Ciaron Maher in Victoria to Matt Kelley on an 18-day return. Maps for the run-of-the-race, and she's been within range throughout this campaign. The blinkers come off, and she's well in the mix. PROPHET'S PROMISE (3) has been close up here his last two. Drops back from a mile but the local is worth keeping onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Wolf Island.
