GOING: S(5)

Irongate Australia Class One Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m 800m-400m, +5m Remainder.  

The speedy Ladymeansbusiness should find the front with Jamaican Gold and Madam Jeanette on her heels. Open race with plenty of winning chances. DERBY DOWNS (3) warmed to his task nicely over the concluding stages when resuming at Morphettville Parks. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt. Will likely head back from the wide alley and be saved for the final shot at them. BAY OF PORTLAND (4) was an eye-catcher fresh but failed to follow it up at the latest. Should be hitting his straps now third-up and will be making his run with Derby Downs. PERCIDIAN (1) was a barnstorming maiden winner back in June before being tucked away. Lead-up trial suggests he's come back in good order and can play a major role. MADAM JEANETTE (11) lengthened nicely to shed her maiden tag when resuming at Naracoorte. Improvement to come and is drawn softly. Don't dismiss. ASTRODEAN (2) strikes an easier assignment second-up and is a likely improver. Don't overlook. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Derby Downs.
