GOING: H(8)

TOYOTA FORKLIFTS W J MCKELL CUP 2000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.88).  

Danish Fortune to lead in a race lacking a notable leader. Multiple Group 2 placegetter WATERFORD (2) steps out to the 2000m for the first time after failing to get through the heavy (9) going when a plugging sixth over 1600m at Randwick on June 8. This looks a target race and worth noting Rawiller is back aboard. FONISKA (9) six weeks between runs when doing her best work late to finish fifth over 2000m in the LR Lord Mayor's Cup at Randwick on June 8. Strips fitter and has top-three prospects. GOLDEN PATH (5) returns from a 35-day let-up after scoring a courageous neck win over 2000m at Randwick on May 25. In leading Victorian yard and market moves must be closely monitored. Group 3 placegetter LORD ARDMORE (10) is another of the Waller runners with a good third-cup record. Snagged back from the wide gate and never got into the contest when 14th over 1600m at Randwick on June 8. Strong on his day and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,9,5,10.
