Port Augusta   12 Jul 2024
 
GOING: G

Milhinch Hourglass Jewellers Rating 0-54 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Lancelotto to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SHIKANIC (4) put the writing on the wall here last start when beaten a long neck. Has a tricky alley to overcome but should be nearing his peak now. Leading player. BERKINSON (2) turned in a poor one when shooting for the hat-trick. Willing to forgive on best figures. Drawn well and can make a return to the winner's circle. LAKEHURST (7) returns and makes his stable debut for Bryan Holtham. Strips fitter for two solid trial placings here in readiness and is among the better hopes while fresh. LANCELOTTO (5) was far from disgraced here last start despite finishing out of the placings. Fitter again and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shikanic to win.
