GOING: G(4)

GORDON'S GIN Class 4 Handicap 1666m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.60)  

Sir Goldalot has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NORTH COURT (6) is a consistent conveyance who has only missed the top-five once in seven career efforts. Won two back at Toowoomba and should be at his peak fourth run from a spell. Gets out to the mile for the first time. Gives the impression he'll appreciate it. GOING TO THE SUN (10) goes around at a double figure quote. Is a last-start winner who shouldn't be dismissed lightly. FLYING CELICA (8) makes some appeal despite the wide draw. Has placed in two of her past three starts since winning over the mile at Toowoomba. SIR GOLDALOT (7) has a sense of timing about him third up and getting out to the mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,10,8,7.
