GOING: S

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.08)  

Plenty of speed engaged with Chance Taken, Turned Loose and Burning Bright going forward ahead of Le Vizir and Maxildo. RUBINI (12) looks a great winning chance off his recent form, which includes a win at Morphettville Parks two starts back and a 1.5 length defeat last start. He gets into this with a winnable 54kg after the claim. ZARKANA (8) looks the main danger. She steps to 1600m which looks suitable at this stage of her campaign. A recent trial between runs indicated that she's ready to show something. MAXILDO (10) maps to get the right run and can finish in the money. The best of BURNING BRIGHT (11) will figure in a race like this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zarkana looks an each-way play at the price.

The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Morphettville Parks 0-64 on May 17 over 1550m, neck behind Rubini with 55.5kg at $5.50. She should be in this for a long way.
