GOING: S(5)

SIGNAGE OPPORTUNITIES TRAINERS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +2m 1200m-350m, Cutaway.  

Sizzling pace from Yet Tobe A Cod, Sensei Jackie and Stonegate Lane locking horns ahead of Drawn Fours and Major Desire. CELESTIAL BREEZE (5) showed plenty winning her Maiden in Canberra, and she was outgraded following at Wyong. Expect the longer sprint to suit, and the blinkers go on for the first time. JVO sticks with the filly and it's hard to risk a top metro stable. GRANDINI (4) deserved her Maiden win at Dubbo. Has a senior hoop aboard today and won't have to improve much to fight out the finish. MAJOR DESIRE (6) just missed first-up at the Sapphire Coast improved and she then raced forward again at the track but weakened out. She loses Krogh, but will be better for the outing and is well in the mix. TOKYO QUEEN (1) has Heywood and the rail and is ready to improve. She has to be kept onside as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Celestial Breeze.
