GOING: S(5)

CHRYSALIS MEDISPA QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder. (Pent: 5.65)  

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. ALMIGHTY JAB (1) won easily here and then delivered the hat trick at Cairns both in this grade. Keeps the top hoop and has been freshened. Still looks well placed and can go on with the job. Wary of BESMARA (6) who is a promising filly in the Hatch yard. Led and won with a bit in reserve at Gatton on debut and owns two trial wins. She will be naturally improved and has the speed to clear the awkward gate. LITTLE IFFY (12) draws wider but brings strong form and gets in light with the 2kg claim. MIMMY'S SECRET (5) resumes and showed plenty her previous campaign. Uses an inside gate and the betting will be key. HAND GRENADE (4) wasn't beaten far seeking the hat-trick and maps well. She's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Almighty Jab.
