GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Campaldino, Formidable Force and Mountain Top going forward ahead of Mickey's Medal and Sumo Fish. SUMO FISH (7) has been unstoppable in northern NSW of late, chalking up a fourth straight win and the second this prep, when he stormed home to just arrive in the Port Macquarie Championship Qualifer last start. That form should hold up in this company so stick with him. MAWJOOD (13) is the clear threat after a close second in a similar race to this at Rosehill a fortnight ago. Cherry ripe and should be producing a peak performance. MOUNTAIN TOP (5) found 1200m too slick when returning from a four-month spell at Canterbury recently. Can improve out to this more suitable trip. MICKEY'S MEDAL (3) resumes. Didn't come up last prep but did fill a placing at his other two first-up runs. Respect any positive market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sumo Fish can do it again.
