GOING: S(7)

NHP - NSW JOCKEYS ASSOCIATION PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m Track: SOFT 7 Clear (Max: 16) Rail: Out 10m Entire.
Solid tempo with Pins And Needles possessing the dash to work to the lead. INVINCIBLE WHIP (3) made solid progress last time in work and resumes from a lengthy layoff. Recent trials have been up to the mark and senior rider booked. Expect a rousing return. NIGHTCAPPED (5) earned enough rewards to keep her owners happy last campaign and should have progressed since. Recent trial winner who must be taken seriously first up. COSMIC LAD (2) resumes right back in class but may need more ground to show best. Up in weight but should be powering home late. Keeping safe. MY MATE COBBER (4) is holding his form strongly of late and carries next to no weight. With the rails draw to launch from, he looks more than capable of another cheeky result. SUGGESTED PLAY: Invincible Whip win.
