GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Feed Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m Entire Circuit.  

A strong gallop is likely with Home Invasion and Hydro Rush taking up the running, closely attended by Fontalicious and London Fields. TALES OF TIME (1) resumes. He just missed in the G3 Maribyrnong Plate on debut before easily taking care of a maiden field as the $1.18 favourite when last seen. Profiles as if he'll continue to improve and can win this despite the 61kg impost. JACARANDA (2) just missed last time out in a bunched finish, beaten a head by Buggsy having chased the 3yo's in the Lightning Stakes prior which is good form. Sets up well and looks a key danger. Wary of SUNBLISS (9) who beat Rubare on debut at Cranbourne back in March. Fancy she'll get further this time in but can win here. HOME INVASION (10) is a speedy filly who might be best suited this trip and can take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tales Of Time to win.
