GOING: S(6)

McDougall Sprint 0-56 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.35)  

Loads of pressure, primarily from Simply Luscious, Just Wai and The Wayfarer. SIMPLY LUSCIOUS (5) resumes and closed off last campaign with a minor placing over 1000m at Hanging Rock. Has a low gate and is free running. The 2kg claim is handy and on song he can kick the campaign off on the right note. LYCHEE GREEN TEA (4) was slow off an easily accounted for at Werribee. His Kyneton placing prior stacks right up and he deserves another chance. EMMOOKI MAGIC (9) resumed much better beaten a nose over 1100m at Clare when stalking the lead. Comes across the border so must be pleasing. A decent chance is a suitable race. SUN FLIPPER (3) has been racing in town in Adelaide and can't be ruled out in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Simply Luscious if the betting indicates stable confidence.
