GOING: S(5)

SIGNAGE OPPORTUNITIES WINNING POST COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 PLATE 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +2m 1200m-350m, Cutaway.  

Plenty of pace with Montido and Super Sting leading from His Honour. NAVIOS (3) resumes and has switched from a leading metro barn. He will take plenty of beating if presented on song, and his strong fresh record suggests he will be. Jumps for the rail and a handy 1.5kg apprentice rides. SPEEDY HENRY (6) has been beaten his last two heavily bet, but rates well in this contest and is worth another chance. A winning rider is reunited, replacing the 2kg apprentice. Some trust required, but he has some weight relief and maps well. Stablemate WONDER STEP (7) resumed with a CL1 win at Dubbo and hasn't missed a beat. Led in that, and Weir will likely push forward again. Fitter and is also a chance. HIS HONOUR (2) easily won his best race, leading and winning a CL2 at Corowa. He will be in the money holding that form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navios if the betting suggests stable confidence.
