GOING: S(5)

MILNE FEEDS WESTSPEED PLATINUM CUP 2100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Either Rock In Wonder or Noahquintilly should find the front and dictate terms. SUMMER'S LEGACY (7) was given a very quiet steer over the 2200m, but weaved through late to hit the line nicely there. This looks a target however with more prize money on offer and the 2200m box being ticked last time out. Likely to get back from the draw, but can mow them down this time around. GRAND RESERVE (4) won the race that Summer's Legacy started favourite in and this looks to set up similarly from the good draw. Chris Parnham remains in the saddle and with a favourable map again today, he can go back-to-back. ROCKING SOCIETY (2) hasn't been far away in his past couple and gets Brad Rawiller in the saddle again today. His record at this track and trip is great and while the draw is sticky, he's good enough to be in the finish once again. EMERALD TRADER (5) is better than we saw last time out and can improve out to this trip again. GINGER GREEN (1) looks suited out in trip now and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Summer's Legacy can get the job done this time around.
