Sarah Pickett Takes on Sportsbet BM64 Handicap (Chute) 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with Unconquerable leading the way. With two key rivals coming out UNCONQUERABLE (4) looks the one. Placed three times in a row before a deserved win in a Class 1 here at this trip three weeks ago. Drawn to either lead or box seat and with Shinn aboard can get the job done again. LOWLANDS (8) missed the start and was never in the hunt second-up over 1300m at Sandown recently. Bolted in third-up last prep. Watch for a much stronger performance. ZOMBIE MISSILE (3) resumes. Beaten a whisker first-up last prep over this distance at Moonee Valley. Recent jump-out winner with definite claims. EXPLOSIVE THINKER (7) didn't do a great deal when resuming over this distance at Bairnsdale last start but might be the big improver with blinkers going on for the first time. CATALINA BLACK CAT (5) was outclassed in town last time out but can do better back in this more suitable contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Unconquerable.
