---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting Walkin'talkin' to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SLINKY (8) gets a much better setup for this on the quick backup. Dragged back from the outside draw before warming up late when third over 1300m at Randwick in BM78 class. Will race closer from the gate and no excuses with J Mac aboard. Hard to stop. UNSTOPABULL (2) finds his race today with the claim and handles the conditions. Struck trouble early and never looked a winning prospect when a dismal ninth over 1300m at Randwick in BM78 class. Expect to see a more positive ride early with Osmond's 2kg claim. Genuine player on best figures. DIMITROV (7) lightly raced gelding with upside. Strong through the line with the 60.5kg when third over 1300m at Kembla Grange on resumption. Comes to hand quickly and not to be underestimated. WALKIN'TALKIN' (1) big drop in class for this third up on his favoured track. Will handle the going and give a ton of cheek with Keatings' claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slinky to score a well deserved win.
