GOING: S(6)

KFC WELLINGTON CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Angie's Sister, Line Of Law and Pattera. ANGIE'S SISTER (4) is holding her form well, backing up a recent win here with a solid third at Muswellbrook. Will likely drift back from the wide draw and let them run along early before letting rip late. SORRENTO PALACE (6) resumes and her previous form lines read strongly for a race of this nature. Well drawn and gets a positive rider engagement, suggesting she’s ready to fire fresh. GLOWING RAPIDS (5) went down narrowly when resuming as favourite at Gilgandra over 800m. Fitter for that and is among the key chances. ROMANTIC LOVE (1) could be ready to peak after an improved effort for second last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Angie's Sister.
