---|---|---|---|---|
Grand Impact and Semillion to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. Victorian entire GRAND IMPACT (7) gets the right conditions to bounce back to form today. Had mixed fortunes in two runs back and go on his dominant victory in the G3 Blue Sapphire in the heavy (10) going last October when assessing his chances. SEMILLION (16) unlucky gelding holding his form well. Came out hard from the wide draw when a fighting second at Caulfield over 1200m in the VGold Sprint on April 27. Gets his chance from the inside draw. Go close. WATEGOS (14) underrated gelding who returned from a lengthy break with a sound fifth over 1100m at Rosehill on April 27. Has a solid second-up record and has the ability to take this out. The race doesn't end there! SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,16,14.
