GOING: S(5)

CITY OF WOLLONGONG RSL SUB-BRANCH GALLIPOLI CUP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 9m 1100m-W/Post. Out 7m Remainder.  

Expecting Invincible Spy to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. INVINCIBLE SPY (3) is a progressive type back for a second campaign. Recent trials have been strong and expect a smart on-pace showing. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (5) romped home against a small field on a wet track first up but the drums are beating. Can go on with it up in class. NANSHE (7) went to the paddock in winning form and should have matured further. First up has genuine claims. THERE THERE (10) is a super consistent mare with a strong first up record. Has trialled twice recently and gets the sweet draw. Sure to be looming into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Invincible Spy win.
