GOING: F

Sean Bryan Memorial 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Small field but Jenadar, Marvelous Night and I'm A Dreamer can ensure a genuine tempo. DESERT MIST (3) has not won for some time and has been placed in 1 of his 3 starts since making the move to the top local stable of Gary Clarke. He was fourth here over a mile 4 weeks ago, and with a drop in class, he can improve to take this out, especially from the pole position. MARVELOUS NIGHT (1) will be peaking third up, and he will relish the step up to a mile. Hard to beat. GLOBAL WONDER (2) is another who does not win often, but he is seldom far away. He has not missed a cheque over a mile in 5 starts, including a win, and another honest effort is expected. MAGNETIC TYCOON (4) has needed both of his starts back from a spell over 1200m and has a much better record over a mile. He has 2.5kg less to carry here, and is ready to put his best hoof forward. I'M A DREAMER (5) was a battling fourth over 1300m last start and is another who is better placed over a mile. He carries 53kg after a claim, and can give this a shake. SUGGESTED PLAY: Desert Mist to win.
