GOING: G(4)

SHEILA GWYNNE CLASSIC 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Miss Esprit. The feature of the day and LACED UP HEELS (4) goes on top. She was game in The Joey when narrowly beaten and that rating is ahead of what her rivals have produced. Has won on the quick turnaround previously and she should get every chance in the run. Just has to hold her form to be winning. BABY PARIS (2) should put up a good fight though, darting up the fence to score first-up. That rating suggests she was close to her best, but is open to improvement with a strong second-up record. Sticky draw, but has the class to win a race of this calibre. REAL DANGER (3) had her chance last start but should be right in the thick of the action again. SAPPHIRE STREET (8) is very progressive and can't be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Laced Up Heels in the feature.
