GOING: S(6)

Kevin Sharkie Mystic Journey Stakes 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Genuine tempo with Sanniya leading the way. SANNIYA (9) has the early speed to make short work of the outside gate and will take a stack of beating. She has been backed off the map, winning her last three and is still on an upward trajectory. The extra 100m should hold no fears, and Newitt stays aboard. MISS ICELANDIC (4) has been kept fresh since finding the Listed Black Pearl at Geelong a bit rich. Just missed in a 74 at Caulfield Heath prior and that stacks up for this. Has been kept up to the mark with a jumpout and Luke Currie rides. ZANY GIRL (10) has raced well and Listed and Group level and will be better for the first-up outing. Proven second-up and Craig Williams will steer from an inside gate. She has each way claims as well. PRESS FOR BOOM (8) wasn't far off Sanniya last start and has to be included off the back of that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sanniya is hard to risk.
