GOING: S(5)

TAB HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.43)  

From the wide alley Cool Jakey should cross and lead. Deep race with several progressive types engaged. IT'S A KNOCKOUT (10) couldn't have been more impressive on resumption when smashing her rivals from a wide gate over 1400m here. Braith Nock sticks and she only has to hold that form to win again from the low draw. MICKEY'S MEDAL (11) slow into stride from the awkward gate and forced to go back further than expected before charging late with an unlucky fourth over 1500m at Rosehill. Key jockey change for this and has genuine winning prospects. GETAFIX (16) was given a J Mac special when gapping his rivals over 1300m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 class. Has the ability at this level but will need luck from the draw. COOL JAKEY (2) deep into his prep and back in class for this. Sure to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: It's A Knockout and Mickey's Medal to slug it out.
