GOING: S

Adelaide Galvanising Industries Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +10m 1200m-W/Post; +8m Remainder, Sectional 613m. (Pent: 6.21)  

Ichiberu and Aloha Blue can be prominent. NURYS (5) is her own worst enemy but does possess powerful acceleration. Draws better this time and drops back to a pet trip. Just needs the gap to appear. PALM OF JUMEIRAH (6) continues to race well. Solid third at Oakbank last time and comes in fresh off 42 days. No reason she won't be in the thick of it again over a favoured journey. Nicely placed to feature again. DE LUCA (11) was closing hard here last start and wasn’t far away. Inside alley is a bonus. Another step forward puts him right in the finish. ICHIBERU (4) brings winning form. Faces stronger company but progressing the right way. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Giving Nurys another chance.
