GOING: G(4)

Lockyer valley painting RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-300m; True Remainder.  

Plenty of early pressure with Jungle Fever leading the charge. NEARA REWARD (8) has hit a purple patch of form this campaign with a dominant maiden win when resuming before hitting the frame last time out. Winning rider Lang sticks in the saddle and looks the one they all have to run down. TOUTE SWEET (5) has placed around this circuit, gets 1.5kg off with the claim and is drawn to get a suck run from the inside marble. Ticks plenty of boxes. JACKIEDOWNTHELINE (12) shed the maiden tag at the latest outing and will have taken a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go right on with the job now. SMILING ZAC (14) has placed here at this venue and looks one for the multiples. JUNGLE FEVER (2) next best in an open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Neara Reward to win.

Most recently raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Sunshine Coast Cl3-Sw on April 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 5.5 len behind Hang Five with 60kg at $26. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Sunshine Coast Poly Bm55 on March 31 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Spirit Of Brodie with 61kg at $5. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
