GOING: S

VOBIS Gold Mile 1600m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Chicago Storm. See no reason to jump off JIMMY THE BEAR (3) who was well supported and duly saluted last week at Caulfield, scoring by half a length, strong to the line. He's a rock-solid miler at this sort of level and may even strip a touch fitter third up. Not sure what to do with OH TOO GOOD (5). The return at Caulfield was very good and she was heavily backed at Sandown Hillside last time, seemingly with every chance. The last 100m there was disappointing and while she'll be fitter again, she needs to lift. REGAL VOW (7) is going well and steps back up to a mile which should suit. Was behind Jimmy The Bear last time but has claims. CHICAGO STORM (6) could be an improver and give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jimmy The Bear to win.
