GOING: S(5)

"It's Why We Race" Class 1 Handicap 1390m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.5).  

Just an even pace on paper. JOHNNIE PINCH (1) resumes and two back placed at Listed level over 2100m. He owns a recent trial win here over 1400m and Pires rides suggesting he's pleasing. Maps well and he gets the nod. ROW ROW POWER (3) won the Maiden here first up and then went close this grade. Drew an outside gate last time and prepared to forgive. He's been kept on the fresh side and will be every chance from an inside draw. BOUNTY BAY (9) resumed on the synthetic with a solid effort and is proven second-up. She may be looking for a bit longer now but rates strongly at best. DIABLO (2) has switched to the Lindsay Smith yard and brings a 3L defeat at Warrnambool. Risks getting bottled up from the rails gate but gets Kersley and has plenty up his sleeve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Johnnie Pinch
