GOING: G

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.26).  

Rivkin should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SIXTEEN REASONS (7) has started at $7 or less in her last six runs but cannot win. Picked up in good style last start over 1250m but found one better on the Parks circuit. The application of blinkers may be the missing piece so give her another chance. KEEP READING (1) last appeared eight weeks ago when he found the classy Mornington Glory and others too slick around Moonee Valley. Loves this trip so back in an Adelaide Benchmark race while fresh he is a definite contender. RIVKIN (5) has been in the quinella at all four runs this prep in western Victoria. Boasts a fine record at five furlongs and he won't know himself with just 53.5kgs after the claim. PLUS FOURS (6) improved sharply last time out when a close second over 1200m here. Won't mind coming back in distance and he should be peaking at the third run back. Dual black-type placegetter GRINZINGER PRINCE (3) resumes. Goes well fresh and gets all the favours out of the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sixteen Reasons each-way in a tough race.
