GOING: H(8)

WHO'S CHARLIE HERE ON SOUTH CUP SUNDAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1195m Track: HEAVY 8 Clouds (Max: 18) Rail: Out 5.5m Entire.
Should be a good battle early on with Procyon Miss and Scarlett Thunder leading the charge. IMMORTALITY (1) former Victorian-trained gelding now in the Stephen Lee yard. Resumes after dropping out sharply when eighth over 1200m at Sandown (L) on January 31. Fitted with two solid trials and the stable has taken all the gear off. Expected to go close. PROCYON MISS (10) lightly raced filly who got off the mark at first run back with a slick maiden win over 1050m at the Gold Coast Poly on May 25. Clearly come back well and can play a leading role again from the good gate. SCARLETT THUNDER (7) big improver second-up when taken straight to the front for a solid maiden win over 1110m at Lismore on June 18. Will need a good ride from the sticky gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,10, 7.
