GOING: H(9)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Rating 0 - 54 Handicap 1300m

Track: HEAVY 9     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Wild Canary leading the way. PINCHBECK (3) doesn't win out of turn but this looks a suitable race for him to add to his CV. He was average last start but his prior form was solid. He can settle handy with the claim and should be fighting out the finish. FOSTER STREET (8) is better than his recent form. He's right down in the weights now and looks an each-way bet again. IMMORTAL SPIRIT (9) had excuses last start and was a winner prior. Heavy track a query but he can hold his form. BLISSFUL BAY (1) and ITALIAN INFORMANT (2) both have upside, with the latter coming into this off a dominant win for the new stable. He can go on with it here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed trifecta with 1,2,3,8,9.
