GOING: G

Murray McCoy Snr Memorial Class One Plate 2050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Devine Assassin to take up the running with Our Fortuna and Ketchikan close at hand. BOLD JAKKAL (1) is resuming from a spell at a very competitive level after racing in stronger company over ground last year. 2050 metres is as short as he wants but he should have the edge on his rivals here. On top. GOTTA GO GURU (9) built strongly to a deserved win as a short-priced favourite last time out at Balaklava 11 days ago. She is suited by a middle distance and should go right on with the job now. Each way. KETCHIKAN (6) was runner-up behind the second pick last time out and has filled a similar spot in 3 of his last 4 starts. Surely his first win is not far away. Include in all combinations. WANNASCHMACK (3) made up steady ground from well back when running fourth as favourite at Gawler last start and was only half-a-length off the winner that day. An extra 350 metres is ideal and he will be right in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bold Jakkal to win.
