GOING: G

Saltbush Livestock Squatter's Cup (Benchmark 72 Hcp) (Heat 2 Outback Cup Championship) 1867m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

Doctor Robert should find the front with Ichibansan and Unisphere on his heels. CRADLE OF JAZZ (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at Strathalbyn two starts back then got the job done comfortably last time out over the mile at Strathalbyn. Well placed so expect another big run. ICHIBANSAN (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over this track and trip. No tougher this time and should be somewhere near his top third-up. Bold showing anticipated. FOX DUNNETT (6) improved sharply here last time out to score by 0.9 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. A little bit tougher this time but he's in the mix off that. DOCTOR ROBERT (1) made a good return in town last month when finishing fifth. Not as effective last time but can get things back on track third-up. Expecting him to push forward and give a sight. GHEMME (3) showed a good turn of foot two back to get the verdict. Not as good in the heavy going last time but she remains in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cradle Of Jazz to win.
