GOING: G(4)

SEEARS WORKWEAR HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 9m 1000m to 380m. Out 7m remainder. (Pent: 3.82).  

Expecting Single Attraction to take up the running with Cable Express and Oneofthetwelve close at hand. WORX (1) resumes for a top Sydney barn off a heavily bet Maiden win at the Sunshine Coast. Has been away 434 days but owns a sharp Warwick Farm trial and has been gelded. He has finished in range at Listed and Group level and will be very hard to beat if presented ready. OPAL FIELDS (3) is also Sydney-trained and followed the big first-up Maiden win at Newcastle with two close-up efforts. Comes back in grade and the longer sprint should be ideal. Has an inside draw and will go well. CABLE EXPRESS (5) won here as expected on debut building on the trial win at the track. He's trialled sharply here for his return and will be naturally improved. Beasley sticks from the trial and that's a lead. NOT THAT EASY (4) has been knocking on the door in better races and there was little in it at Hawkesbury 10 days ago. The rails gate should advantage and she deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Worx if the race day betting suggests stable confidence.
