GOING: S

Sportsbet Race Replays Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expect a strong tempo with Lim's Saltoro pressing on from an outside draw, with Edison nearby. A few chances here. ZOU SENSATION (10) is up in grade but won well in BM84 company last start here and the overall time was good. He drops 4.5kg off that and gets Jamie Melham on board from an ideal gate. Can measure up strongly. THE OPEN (9) continues to race well without winning this time in, just missing in a driving finish behind YELLOW SAM (3) here last start. The Open was favourite on that occasion and gets Williams on which is a positive. No knock on Yellow Sam who has strung a couple together. She can settle midfield and have last say again. LIM'S SALTORO (1) split that pair here last time after showing speed, only going down by a neck. He can roll to the front and take plenty of catching again. RHEINBERG (7) was just behind those last time and looks to be back to his best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Zou Sensation.
