GOING: G(4)

Winsec Savings & Loans 0-56 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 3m 400m - WP, True Remainder.  

Fast tempo assured with Queue Jumper, Runway Ruler and Zamora going toe-to-toe. QUEUE JUMPER (8) looks the one to beat. He's racing in fine form, just caught late at his past couple of starts since a win at Berrigan, beaten under a length last time at Kyneton. This looks a very winnable race and King should bounce him to the front and prove very hard to run down. SKELLIG ROCK (14) has run fourth in all four runs this campaign, not far away her past couple. She got home well enough behind Queue Jumper last time and can be charging through late again. SOHO PRINCESS (15) has changed stables and been let up since a poor run at Kyneton. Her form prior was good for this, the late betting could be key. RUNWAY RULER (12) can mix her form, another one with a new camp now. The draw isn't ideal but she has some speed and the ability to run well. WATOTO (5) resumes and was in solid form last time in, look for him to be sprinting well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Queue Jumper.
