GOING: G

Kevin Sharkie Class 2 Handicap 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Simply Deep is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. SIMPLY DEEP (1) has the speed to clear the awkward gate. He's been nudged out twice here since the back-to-back wins at the track. Keeps improving and back a bit in trip he can bounce back. MAGIC MOGUL (2) resumed narrowly beaten behind Zoete's Rock as a short-priced favourite. Brought two trial wins to that and with the extra fitness will go close. ZOETE'S ROCK (5) deserved the win and also has decent claims. Look for him late again. GET 'EM WARRIOR (3) resumed in the same contest and wasn't far away. Maps well and is in the mix. BERSERKER (6) went close the latest in stronger and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Simply Deep.
