GOING: S(5)

GORDON'S GIN Class 4 Handicap 1350m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Run Lucy Run leading Bring Me Saki. DON'TCHA THINK (9) lumped 60kgs when easily accounted for over 1400m at Eagle Farm last start. Strips fitter after two runs back and has been in the money at three of four third up runs. Makes plenty of appeal dropping a massive 6kgs for this assignment. RUN LUCY RUN (5) led all the way and gave nothing else a chance when second-up last time out over this course and distance. Should at least hold that performance level at this early stage of the prep. Just needs luck from a wide alley to play a major role. NIGHTCAPPED (6) registered a dominant all-the-way win over 1400m at the Sunshine Coast last Friday, albeit on a heavy surface. Should feature again with the help of an ideal gate. TREPORTI (1) hasn't won for around 14 months but did run a cheeky race over 1400m at Eagle Farm recently in a Class 4. Worth some thought in this slightly easier race. NOBLE DECREE (2) has started at under $3.00 at all three runs this prep but is yet to salute. Distance specialist who must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Don'tcha Think.

Second-up. First-up after two months got back early 5th of 8 at Gold Coast Cl3-Sw on January 23 over 1200m, 6 len behind Greyzous carrying 60kg at $61. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Doomben Cl5 on August 6 over 1350m, 1.75 len behind Blazen Boots with 51.5kg at $4. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
