GOING: S(5)

Tony Carrick Goodwood Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +11m 1200m-W/Post, +9m Remainder. (Pent: 4.58)  

Cracking early tempo with Tony Nicconi and Galenus leading the way. GEEGEES GEMSTONE (4) is a quality sprinter resuming from a spell and he is unbeaten in 3 first-up runs. He is also unbeaten in 5 starts over 1100m and has looked sharp in 3 lead-up trials. A wide gate hurts but Anthony Darmanin is one of the best hoops in Tasmania and the pair will go very close to taking this out. TSUNAMI SAM (5) ended his last season with a couple of solid efforts in Queensland in good fields. He won a recent trial by a nose and has a terrific record on this track, including 5 wins. He comes to hand quickly and from a good draw, he will be among the hardest to beat in a very nice field. IN THE OCEAN (15) is an up-and-coming gelding chasing a hat-trick of wins in his toughest test to date. He drops 7kg in weight and should make the grade. DURAZZO (14) has rushed through the grades this season with 3 wins on the bounce. He can make full use of the pole position and can give this a shake. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tsunami Sam each-way.
