GOING: G

Meridian Horse Transport Class 4 1650m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Don't Give Up to take charge ahead of Simply Deep at a strong tempo. IT'S JAGGER TIME (2) looks close to a win. Wound up strongly here over the sharper trip last time to finish a length from there winner. Has placed 2/3 this trip and gets chance to break though. DON'T GIVE UP (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, Extra trip a plus and should be improving sharply. SIMPLY DEEP (5) really dug deep to salute by 0.8 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. NATIVE CLAN (6) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fifth over 2100m at Hobart last start. Will find this easier. Well placed and expected to measure up. Among the better hopes. LAUGH WITH ME (3) is much better than last run and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with It's Jagger Time.
