GOING: S(6)

Sportsbet Jockey Watch Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 12m Entire Circuit.  

Abundant early pace from Our Cracklin Rosie and Gitalong FLEETWOOD (1) is a handy gelding down from Sydney who has won both starts this time in, too good at Warwick Farm first up before beating a talented type in The Black Cloud last start at Randwick in a Bm78. That form should hold up well. AMIGO (10) resumes. He won his first two starts last time in at short odds before tackling a strong race and running fairly well behind Brave Mead & King Colorado. He then tackled the G3 Cs Hayed behind Riff Rocket and wasn't terrible. 1000m the query here. GITALONG (5) won his first three starts last time in before starting hard in the market in a handy race at Geelong. He's trialled well and should take beating. LE PARRAIN (8) won well two back at Bendigo and was solid at Flemington. SOJU (11) was dominant last time and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fleetwood on top.
