GOING: G(4)

NSW JOCKEYS ASSOCIATION REUNION HANDICAP 1500m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.37).  

With no recognised leader engaged it might be left to Jojo Was A Man, Riyazan and Estadio Mestalla to control the tempo. TESTATOR SILENS (14) raced without luck all prep and should be able to hold a forward position again on the limit weight. On the quick back-up when sat on the speed for a narrow fourth over 1500m in the LR Winter Challenge at this track on July 20. Gets all the favours again and can turn the tables today. Group 3 placegetter ROBUSTO (4) relished the good early tempo first-up when weaved between runners late to score a nose victory over 1300m here on July 20. Clearly come back well but the map looks a lot trickier here. Each way. ESTADIO MESTALLA (10) has sound figures over this track and trip and a win looks imminent. Run down late when a head second over 1610m in the South Grafton Cup on July 14. Finally drawn a decent gate. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 14,4,10.
