GOING: H(8)

MASTERFOODS PROFESSIONAL Class 2 Plate 1400m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.88)  

Genuine tempo from Warrant leading Divine Gem. The well-related HALF LISTENING (1) (half to G2 winner Not An Option) has won two of three career efforts and is a must for the multiples. LITTLE JEANIE (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. WARRANT (6) ran a much better race last start when third over 1690m at Ipswich. Runs well here and can give this s shake. DIVINE GEM (11) placed third by 0.9 lengths last start at Doomben and should race on the speed, worth consideration. NAVILLUS HELLFIRE (13) moderate effort to finish fifth last time over 1100m at Ipswich when resuming. Jumps up in journey today and fitter is a place hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,8,6,11.
