GOING: S(5)

CHRISTMAS IN JULY - 13 & 20 JULY 2024 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.8).  

Ima Single Gal has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SIR EYRELTON (5) has been impressive in his career so far, showing plenty of strength to win narrowly at this track and trip. This is a big step up in grade, but he maps beautifully, and he has plenty of improvement to come. Can continue his winning ways. CATCH THE RED EYE (6) has been disappointing his past couple but will find this a little easier than both of those races. Noske can have the 3YO in a handy position and his figures from earlier this campaign are right up to winning a race like this. Can make his presence felt. SHEZGOTTHALOT (10) was bolting in a recent trial when trapped in behind runners, catching the eye for her first-up effort. The booking of CJP means she's ready to fire first-up and she can be storming over the top of them late in the race. DEFIANT DIORITE (1) can build on a solid run last start with the aid of an inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Eyrelton can win again.
