GOING: G(4)

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True .  

Cool Fizz and Parmenio can be prominent. SO YOU SUGGEST (12) started a move before the corner then went on to record a tough win when resuming from an eleven-month break over this trip at Taree last start. Lightly raced mare who is eligible for easier races but she gets in nicely and has plenty of scope for improvement. The speedy COOL FIZZ (7) drove hard through the line to just prevail last time out in a BM58 over this distance at Taree. Genuine mare who has a 67% top three strike rate. Drawn ideally and should be in the finish again. MR TRACKSIDE (8) began poorly and was never in contention at his latest run over today's journey at Muswellbrook. Nine runs now at this trip without a placing which is a concern. Each-way only. EGOTISTIC (10) returned from a lengthy break with an encouraging third over 1106m at Grafton recently. All three wins have come at five furlongs. Fitter and sure to be thereabouts. YENDY (1) is back from a 191-day lay-off. Two recent trials should have her ready to run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: So You Suggest to win again.
