GOING: G(4)

DEBORTOLI FAMILY WINEMAKERS HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +5m entire.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Swansee. PIN DEEP (1) showed plenty of improvement second-up at Belmont and is a course and distance winner in the past. He's never missed the placings third-up in his career and the claim of ZJP comes in handy. Can roll forward and give his rivals something to chase back on top of the ground. PRINCE (5) never got into the race last start after leading and winning a CL3 here two starts ago. Faithfull hops back in the saddle now and I expect him to settle close to the speed rather than out the back like he did last time out. Can bounce back to winning ways. SWANSEE (11) looks an exciting mare on resumption on the back of a very handy trial recently. Ramoly is in strong form of late and she too has some early speed from the inside barrier. Carries little weight and if she can resume in similar form, she'll be hard to hold out. THIS'LL SHOW YA (7) is racing well and won't be far away. MANTUA (3) can improve second-up with Pike in the saddle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pin Deep can get the job done in the last.
