SOUTHERN CROSS SHEDS Class 5 Handicap 1000m Track: Good 4 Clear (Max: 27) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.30) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo anticipated with Alloutatime heading them off. It's hard to knock the form of VINDICTA (4) who has won three of four this time in work and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Is yet to miss a quinella spot in four attempts over this track and trip and should be right there at the business end. THELWELL (1) saves his best form for this course and distance and gets some weight relief from the favourable draw. Ticks plenty of boxes. DEFIANT SPIRIT (7) is a two-time winner here who should find this easier than recent efforts in town. Looks well placed against this line-up. WILD BOTANICA (6) boasts a win around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. In the mix. SUPER DAISY (2) rounds out the selections while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vindicta to continue the rich vein of form.
