Gold Coast   05 Oct 2024
 
GOING: S(5)

Jonker First Yearlings 2025 BM62 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 2m 900m-W/Post, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.92).  

Off the inside draw Mean Approach should boot up and lead at a solid tempo. MEAN APPROACH (2) won the CL1 at the Gold Coast and then was expected to win a 65 at Ipswich but disappointed. The local won his only start at this track and a bounce is likely on a 9-day return. He's quick and will use the rail. CARDSHARP (8) was quickly back on track when beaten 2.9L at Doomben in stronger. Maps well and is capable of making the finish. PASSIONATE REBEL (6) will be sharper second-up and his best would see him competitive. Proven second-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Mean Approach.
