GOING: S(5)

CATANACH'S JEWELLERS HANDICAP 1550m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Fast pace with Doradus showing out and Conchiero crossing to apply some pressure. LET'S FLY (6) convincingly won a BM64 here at this distance two runs ago. Tackled Saturday company last start and did a fine job to hang on for third after leading the field for the judge over the Randwick mile. Gets all the favours from gate one and back in midweek company appeals as the one to beat. DORADUS (12) led and tried bravely but found one better when resuming over 1350m at Wyong last time out. Ran some nice races in town last prep so this class rise is not a concern. Fitter and can play a key role out to this more suitable distance. TENDERIZE (5) dashed clear and looked home only to be nailed on the line in a comparable race to this here a fortnight ago. Consistent veteran who will give a good account again. SISTER DAAE (11) is in a rut of finding the line with gusto without winning, extended last time out when a slashing third over a mile at the Farm. A must for trifectas and first fours. STANDARD DEVIATION (7) first-up with J Mac to pilot cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with Let's Fly.
