GOING: S(6)

ACCOLADE WINES HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Filthy Habits leading the way. KINGS SALUTE (12) stepped out to 1400m last start and bolted in, scoring by 1.5L and now steps out to the mile for the first time. The way he won last start suggests the extra furlong won't matter and he should get every chance from an inside alley. He looks a progressive type, and back-to-back wins is on the cards. ANTIQUE MISS (5) rounded them up with ease in easier grade last time out, scoring by 2.8L over 1650m. The wide draw may see her a long way back, but Campbell's claim gets her in nicely at the weights and she's unbeaten at the trip. Should be right in the mix again. CHOLLIMA (9) steps out to this distance for the first time which may suit her based on her racing pattern. Brad Parnham takes the ride now and she still has upside being lightly raced. Has always hinted she's better than she's shown, and today may be the day for her to showcase that. SUGGESTED PLAY: King's Salute can go back-to-back.
