GOING: G(4)

Field Family Class 6 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.47)  

Genuine tempo from Shy Guy leading Adachi. SHY GUY (7) was straight back into the winner's stall, leading and winning at Hobart over a mile. Drops back 200m off a 47-day freshen and will position forward. He should go close. GO JEANIE (8) seeks the hat-trick off synthetic wins and returning to turf won't be an issue. She may need further now but it's hard to question the form. MAKE A DECISION (5) has been busting to win in stronger grade and has been freshened. He's worth another try over the longer sprint. ADACHI (4) is a leader who's won his last two on the synthetic. Uses the inside barrier and will give a sight. SAILOR (3) resumes and has trialled well. Worth a look at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Shy Guy.
