GOING: S(7)

CONGRATULATIONS WILLIAM PIKE - LEADING JOCKEY 24/25 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: True.  

Miss Flirtacious and Sonoftheboss look to take it up. SHMOOV MOOVA (11) is still a progressive gelding who ended last campaign in impressive fashion. His recent trial suggests he's right up to the mark and Pike hops on board for his resuming effort. Draw is sticky, but he's a classy type and he can pick up where he left off. WUBIN GOLD (3) was very impressive last start at Bunbury when flying home to win in Heavy conditions. Although she is also likely to be back in the pack, she's known to run fast splits late in the race and on her current form, she looks the main danger. PETULA (2) resumes today after tackling The Joey at the end of last campaign. She has fired first-up in the past however and with the claim of Cooper on her back, she can put her best foot forward. SUPERSESSION (5) is better than he showed last start at Bunbury and can bounce back. SONOFTHEBOSS (8) is never far away, particularly first-up and he's worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shmoov Moova looks the one to beat.
