GOING: S(5)

VINCE INSURANCE Class 1 Plate 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: +6 metres Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Ivantheinvincible leading the way. BRAVEHEART (2) resumed heavily bet at Doomben and worked home okay after an awkward start. The money came again there following, and he was beaten just 0.5L after positioning handy. Maps well today, and Jones is a key jockey engagement, replacing the apprentice. In the premier metro stable and back to provincial level is well-placed to win. IVANTHEINVINCIBLE (6) is also in good hands. He was a big trial winner and then led and demolished the Grafton Maidens by 5.6L on debut. He was backed off the map and will jump and run from the inside barrier. Promising and is sure to give a big sight. BETTER SWEET (13) missed the frame at Eagle Farm last time, but came hard to just miss there prior. Will find this easier and may be able to sit a bit closer today. CARNEGIE HILL (3) resumes for the Freedman yard and is proven fresh. He's trialled well and maps for the run of the race. Has shown enough to keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Braveheart to win.
