GOING: S(5)

Gawler South Bakery Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.55)  

Genuine tempo from Broadway Lane leading the way. THE GREY KING (1) was denied narrowly from resuming a winner here two weeks ago. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt and is the one to beat. SUGGESTIVE MISS (3) knuckled down strongly in the lane to grab a minor cheque last start at Port Lincoln. Has been out of the winner's circle for a long time but this is one of her best chances. A THOUSAND DEGREES (10) is in the mix after being beaten a head last start at Port Lincoln. Deserves more respect this time and can add some juice to exotics. JIVE BABY (6) returns and was a barnstorming winner when resuming last campaign. Crowther piloting is a positive and she's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Grey King to win.
