GOING: H(8)

MCCAIN STAYCRISP Class 2 Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.88)  

Streak Of Winning, King Of The Jungle and Spirit Of Milan all possess good speed. The well-related SHAKO (2) (half to G2 winner Arcaded) is a very consistent commodity who is yet to miss the top-four in ten starts to date and doesn't know how to put in a poor one. Has a win and two seconds from three outings over this track and trip and gets 3kg off from the low draw. Ticks plenty of boxes. STREAK OF WINNING (4) is always heavily supported in betting and where there's smoke there's fire. Gets the services of Maloney in the irons and expect a forward showing. KING OF THE JUNGLE (5) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the close-up second two back. Worth another chance. SPIRIT OF MILAN (9) next best in a small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shako to return a winner.
