GOING: H(9)

P&K GARAGE DOORS 2YO HANDICAP 1300m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Fiery Heart, Street Jewel and Hailstones leading the charge. STREET JEWEL (10) led for home and gave plenty of cheek but was eventually overwhelmed on debut last start over 1100m at Gosford. Can set a less frantic tempo over an extra 200m today and with race smarts now on board he will be tough to catch. HAILSTONES (2) stalked the pace then went home a shade too well on debut last time out over this distance at Scone. Has a tricky gate to contend with but he should progress from that last outing and play a big role again. GENESIS RUNNER (8) was rock solid at $2.40 on debut last start over 1200m here but after getting back to near last on settling was left with too much to do. Trialled since to hopefully get his mind switched on at the start. Clearly talented and can improve without surprising. BALTUSROL (6) showed pace to the turn but wilted late on debut over 1150m at the Kensington track. Can stick on a bit longer with less pressure up front today. Gai and Adrian's FIERY HEART (7) is a likely improver at just his second appearance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Street Jewel to win an interesting race.
