GOING: S(5)

RACING AND SPORTS HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.32)  

Plenty of pace with Lightning Glory and Hezdarnhottoo leading from Little Beginnings. HEZDARNHOTTOO (5) sent south when ridden a treat by Jett Stanley, saving ground along the inside to score a comfortable win over 1200m at Caulfield in BM84 grade. Gets the services of a 3kg apprentice today and will prove hard to run down from the low draw. LIGHTNING GLORY (7) talented galloper chasing his fourth-straight win and deserves his chance at this level. Was a month between runs when defeating a strong field over 1300m at Scone in BM72 class. Kept fresh again with a trial win and winning apprentice sticks. SANCTIFIED (12) strengthened over the break and is at his top for this fourth-up. Tempo suits and will be doing his best work late. MIDNIGHT OPAL (1) holding his form and the claim helps from the good gate. Saves his best for this track and trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Trifecta 5,7,12,1.
