GOING: G(4)

THE @JACKLEIGHH INSTA STAKES Class 1 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +5m Entire . (Pent: 6.10)  

Hot pace certain with Saga's Girl, Cabaletto and Turn Up The Music keen to take up the running. Open race to close out the card. TURN UP THE MUSIC (1) returned in fine fashion with a strong win over this course and distance before just running into one better here last time out. Winning rider Wheeler reunites and should be right there at the business end. SKY BLUE (7) broke the maiden status here before being given further time to mature. Looks to be back in good order winning a recent trial and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Right in this contest. SAGA'S GIRL (6) resumed a winner in the first run for the new yard and winning hoop Turner sticks. Solid top-three candidate. CABALETTO (4) has been well in the betting in both career outings to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep very safe. The well-related ZARIPPA (2) (half to 2xG3 winner I'm A Rippa) makes some appeal out of the Gollan yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Turn Up The Music.
