GOING: G

Jockey Assistance Program Sprint 1000m

Track: GOOD3   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Cavalry Girl is expected to lead at a slick tempo. Big weight for GALLANT SON (1) but he's deserving of it. Narrow second placings to Alabama Lass (subsequent G1 placed) and Reserve Bank (subsequent G1 winner) last time in read very well for this BM70 contest. Pozman is a capable apprentice and takes 3kg off and class will take him a fair way. CHERGUI (14) has post-race issues two back but bounced back with a good run at Cranbourne when beaten by the in form Steel Move. Back to 1000m here but she doesn't lack speed and Melham sticks. EXPRESS CLASS (8) resumes for his second campaign. He beat a handy one on debut and was solid in a pair of Group races before the break. Wary. CAVALRY GIRL (13) is a speedy horse, arguably the most suited of these at 1000m. She'll give a huge sight. RUNLIKENENCRYPTION (7) was a narrow winner last time and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gallant Son to win.
