GOING: S(6)

JUNCTION WINES 2100m

Track: SOFT 6     True  

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. SANDOKU (5) bounced back into her best form at the end of last season, and looks to be heading towards another win this prep after a last start solid third as the favourite at Waverley 2 weeks ago. She can secure the run of the race from a good draw and deserves another winning turn. SIR MIKKI (3) has been off his best form for some time, but he is still racing consistently at his level. He has been back to the trials since a last start third 7 weeks ago, and he is always worth including in all multiples to be safe. GREY INVADOR (6) has needed his first 2 runs back from a spell, and it is usually now that he starts to hit his straps. Each way value. JACKS PRIDE (7) plugged away for third in a 5-horse field last start, and MADAME MOET (9) was much better in the same race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sandoku is the one to beat.
