GOING: S(5)

SHADCON Class 3 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Streak Of Winning and Miley's Memory taking up the running over Sweet Proposal. CRESSBROOK (9) hasn't been too far away in harder races in town of late and will be cherry-ripe fit for this now. Maps perfectly from the inside marble and an improved showing is on the cards. STREAK OF WINNING (3) is on the quick back-up but boasts two wins around this circuit and is yet to put in a poor one. Has to be included in calculations. BOONDOCKS (1) has placed three of four over this distance range and gets the services of Wiggins on board from a low draw. Ticks a few boxes. The well-related SUNLORD (2) (half to 2xG2 winner Splintex) resumes here for the new stable but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Among the better hopes while fresh. SWEET PROPOSAL (12) has hit the top-five in 12 of her past 13 outings and is a must for the multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Cressbrook.
