GOING: G(4)

D & A PLUMBING AND GAS HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Sky River and Rommel's Jeuney will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. SPACE ACADEMY (9) scored a good win two back at Belmont before disappointing when out in trip at Albany last time out. Back to 1500m today is a big tick and he looks very well placed at this level. Draw is the query but his win two back stacks right up. SKY RIVER (7) missed in a photo here two back before ending up 3.2L off the winner at Belmont last time out. She has enough speed to cross from a wide draw and Cheung's claim means she'll carry no weight. Can play a leading role. WHO SAZ YES (10) will be fitter for his last start off a short break and the rise to 1500m is a big tick. This is easier than what she took on last time out and she rates highly on her recent form. CARAWAY (3) boasts a good second-up record and should get her chance from the inside draw. ROMMEL'S JEUNEY (11) is next best off a gutsy all-the-way win las time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Space Academy in the last.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Belmont Park Cl3 on March 25 over 1600m, 3 len behind Pony Up with 52kg at $11. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on March 15 over 1500m, nose behind Rommel's Jeuney carrying 53kg at $6. Right on the cusp of another win and has the speed to offset the sticky barrier.
