GOING: H(10)

THE COAST 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Iknowastar taking up the running ahead of Magnaspin and Jamberoo. TAVI TIME (9) undefeated in three attempts at this trip and should get the right tempo today. Drifted back early and strong through the line from the wide draw when fifth over 1400m in the Provincial Championships Final at Randwick on April 13. Drops sharply in weight and looks up to this tougher assignment. Will prove hard to hold out. PREMISE (10) smart mare undefeated at this track. Holding her form well after going under narrowly when second over 1800m at Rosehill on April 27. Go close. IKNOWASTAR (3) tough miler fitter after finishing in the minor money at his last two outings. Wet track credentials hardly excite but expected to be in this for a long way. MAGNASPIN (4) sat on the speed with the 59kg when a tiring sixth over 2000m at Caulfield in the VGold Heath on April 27. Looks primed for this with the 54kg on a rain affected track. Value runner. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,10,3,4.
