GOING: S(5)

TAB SAME RACE MULTI PLATE 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 4.08)  

No Destination should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. VINNIRO (4) resumes after nearly a year off where he was tested against some good types. He's only seen a dry track once in his career and his trials coming into this were solid in town. Looks to have a class edge on his rivals and he can resume on a winning note. OCTA DE LAGO (3) has impressed at the trials coming into this and won his most recent trial with the shades on. McDougall rides now though and it is hard to ignore what he's done thus far. Can put his best foot forward. BARDETTE (13) drifted in betting on debut and was just fair after a nice trial coming in. Needs some luck from the barrier but can feature. LOCKHART (12) was solid on debut at Nowra and maps to get every chance. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vinniro goes on top in the last.
