GOING: S(7)

TRAFFIC WARDEN @ DARLEY HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.64)  

Pace only fair with Night Sky rolling to the lead ahead of The Unique Star and Moonlight Dream. THE UNIQUE STAR (4) was well backed and dominated first-up in a BM58 over 1010m at the Sapphire Coast. Facing his stiffest test to date but is lightly raced and has great scope for improvement. NIGHT SKY (9) has been freshened up since disappointing as favourite over this distance at Wyong five weeks ago. Sparingly raced filly who has trialled well since and can make amends. MOONLIGHT DREAM (12) last appeared when successful in a Beaumont maiden over 1200m in December. Trialling in good style and looks ready for a positive return. Promising filly MANAAJEM (8) is back from a spell and looks to be on for a good campaign judging by her smart work on the track. PIEROLITE (6) was in the money in a similar race to this here a fortnight ago. Open to further improvement at just the third run back from a break. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Unique Star each-way.
