GOING: G

Just Energy - We Take Care Of All Your Solar Needs 0-58 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.27)  

Solid tempo likely from Shamrock Bay and Just Bolts. JUST BOLTS (3) resumes with a comfortable Maiden win here and has more to give. He'd come off a 456-day break, and with the extra fitness, he has a chance to repeat. SHE IS ALL MAGIC (10) resumes and has won 2/4 fresh. She can use the rail and has jumped out well. No surprise to see her back on track. SHAMROCK BAY (12) was tracking well before a plainer run at Sale in stronger (vet cleared). She's good enough to be in the finish. I AM GERONIMO (6) resumes for a new stable with a 4kg claimer aboard and the blinkers on for the first time. He won a recent jump-out and likes to run along. Worth a look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Just Bolts.
