GOING: G

EMBERPOINT HANDICAP 1080m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: True.  

From the outside gate Jukebox Flyer can cross and take up the running. FLASHBACK TIME (10) got the job done first-up after sitting close to the speed and was too good. Back to the scene of the crime here and she's expected to have come on from that effort. This looks to set up favourably again and she can go back-to-back to start this campaign. COOL BLAZE (1) is third-up now and comes back from provincial company to line up here with the blinkers on first time. Her maiden win came on the turf course here and this shapes very similarly. Can bounce back to her best. JIMMY'S READY (7) tackled the Black Opal before the break but was a good maiden winner against the older horses prior. Drawn the inside today and can return on a positive note. NABHA (9) is third-up here and building into the campaign nicely. Well-suited and won't be far away. MUST BE SAIN (5) can feature in his first run for the new stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Flashback Time on top.
