GOING: S(5)

Art Hotel 3YO/4YO Hcp 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +1m 1300m-1100m, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.61)  

Sky Land and Cripps will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. MAGNAPRIME (1) is free running and improved again, winning a 76 here over this trip. Has to raise the bar again but has a handy 2kg claim and is well placed to deliver the hat-trick. GO JEANIE (2) hadn't missed a beat leading and winning an Open 4 here first-up over shorter. Tackled a Group 3 after at 1200m following and found the grade too rich. Much better placed here and the 1400m suits. She can use the inside barrier and make the finish. The Victorian CRIPPS (5) finds tougher but he was good first-up when leading and winning a CL1 here comfortably. He ran some strong numbers early doors and looks back on track. Tumbles in weight and has a low barrier. THE TRINE (7) is holding a decent level of form and also gets weight relief. He's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magnaprime to win.
