GOING: S(5)

PORT CITY GLASS SHOWCASE CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1512m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Pace looks genuine from All Too Rosey, Caledonian and Oakfield Peewee, closely attended by Casino Bear. POCKET EIGHTS (1) this looks more to his liking after gripping on late when third over 1200m at Gosford in BM68 class. Down in grade and brings the right figures here. CALEDONIAN (7) big weight drop for this and has been mixing it against some handy types on the provincial circuit. Warmed up late from the draw when fifth over 1300m at Taree. Solid top three prospect. SMASHING DANCER (11) was out of sorts last time at Kembla when failing to get into the contest running ninth over 1500m. Can race a little closer here and take a hand in the finish. MEGA FIGHT (5) back from a let up with the blinkers going on. Ready to win. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pocket Eights to bounce back.
