GOING: G(4)

NJ INDUSTRIES HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.80)  

A keen contest with Science Degree prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Vomo Island and Chipilly. DOOR BUSTER (7) didn't fire a shot two back but went back to this trip last start and scored an impressive win from the back. She's now unbeaten at this track and distance and the figure she produced is very strong for this. Just needs to run up to that level to repeat the dose. DREAMERS NEVER DIE (2) is knocking on the door of another win, missing in a photo finish over 1200m last time out when the race favourite. He should get every chance from the draw and Fiore remains in the irons. A slight gear change may help and he can go one better now. CHIPILLY (10) is racing in good order, leading them up last start when ending up 3.3L off Door Buster. Nottle hops on board now and a better draw helps. Can feature. SPANGLEDSTAR (8) is in winning form and can't be discounted despite the drop in distance. SCIENCE DEGREE (1) can bounce back following a poor run last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Door Buster can go back-to-back.
