GOING: G

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Class One Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 7m 1200m Chute. Out 10m Remainder. (Pent: 5.5).  

Noitulover to take up the running with Flying D'amore and Hypernova close at hand. Tricky race. GRUELLING (9) hasn't been given much of a chance from wide gates in his two runs back. Strips fitter third-up with Holder taking over from a good draw. Expecting sharp improvement. FLAMBARD (1) is ready to make his return after enjoying a successful debut prep. Lugs the top weight but looks to shoulder his share of ability. SOLAR MIST (6) also resumes and while he hasn't won for a long time he profiles strongly in this line-up. Should be forward enough off recent trial here. Don't take lightly. NANKEEN (3) wasn't far away last start at Naracoorte when chasing gamely into fourth. Knocking on the door. Last-start winner NOITULOVER (8) is another that deserves respect on the back of a handy maiden win here two weeks ago. Will pay to see what the market does with her. Similar story for HYPERNOVA (2). SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Gruelling.
