GOING: G(4)

ARGONAUT HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.40)  

Pace looks genuine from Great Edition, Chipilly and Cocoon Bay, closely attended by Jayashree. JUST FAMOUS (2) was prominent throughout last time when second over 1300m at this track. He impressed here and at Northam the two before, and with the in-form Fiore reunited, he is well placed to return to the winners' list. GREAT EDITION (1) deserves plenty of respect presenting off a near miss at Belmont. He keeps improving and is a threat on the 8-day return. JAYASHREE (6) switched from a Sydney stable and needed the first-up outing. She will be better over further but has the ability and has to be kept onside. COCOON BAY (4) is a leader who was nudged out here two back. She jumped slowly the latest and raced wide throughout. She will give a sight if she jumps with them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Just Famous.
