GOING: S(5)

SPECIALISED ENGINEERING HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m entire.  

Moderate tempo headed by Cocoon Bay. THE JESTER’S SON (2) has returned in terrific form this campaign. Narrowly missed making it two on the trot here last start after a barnstorming win two back. The drop in trip is interesting. Still a top pick. MISS WALL STREET (7) is going better than her form reads, producing eye-catching finishes in her last three. Will prove tough to hold out if she can utilise another low draw. DONT WAIT FOR LUCK (3) disappointed last time but his form prior measures up. Boasts a strong record at this track and is worth another chance. DREAMERS NEVER DIE (4) showed improvement last start when sent forward here. Didn't live up to market support but was a pass mark. Peaking now and is in the mix. TOP FUN (8) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with The Jester's Son to win.
