GOING: S(5)

HLW PROJECTS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pressure with Rebelious Red, Go Isla Go and Toyger leading the charge. SO BE INSPIRED (6) resumes from a lengthy break after scoring a good win on debut four starts back. Fitted with the two searching trials and senior rider goes on from the good gate. Expected to go close. REBELIOUS RED (1) returns from a lengthy break after going out a winner at start two when leading throughout over this track and trip. Key jockey change from the low gate and fitted with two trials. Leading chance. LAUNCH SEQUENCE (5) resumes with good figures at this track and trip. Total forgive from the wide barrier when a plodding tenth over 1007m at Taree last March. Back without a trial and gets weight relief with the claim. TOYGER (4) is worth keeping safe fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,1,5.
