GOING: S(6)

Kevin Sharkie C2 Hcp 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 4.54)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Steele My Sunshine. SNOW EAGLE (3) won a CL1 first-up and then found a place over this distance. May need longer now, but has placed at Stakes level and Pires will give her every chance. AZONTO (1) has strong form over a mile including a Stakes placing. Has the top hoop aboard today and she should be ready to fire. GO JEANIE (2) is also third up and is ready for the step up to the mile. She's raced in stronger and will likely be positioned forward. Go well. NAVARRE RIVER (5) peaks and won't be far away if the wide gate is managed. MATEUS (7) drops back plenty in trip on a three-week return but will be finishing it off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Snow Eagle.
