GOING:

THE MANAGEMENT EDGE PACE 2125m

Track: GOOD      

LUKE JOHN (4) turned in an out-of-character effort last time out when 40 metres away in sixth over 1609m at Newcastle. Form prior to that had been solid. Primary contender if he is on-song. POLKA DELIGHT (1) ran sixth last start at this track over 2125m, beaten 13 metres. Expected to run well from the perfect inside gate. DANGEROUS THREATS (7) will secure a cosy run early on and is worth another chance after a last-start ninth over 1609m at Menangle seven weeks ago. Each way value. DONTLETFEARSTOPYA (3) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1720m at this track last time out.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into sixth behind Betterthanfederer at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 65 on May 30 at $3.10.

Rates highly. Can bounce back.
