RACE THREE
SWORD AND SHIELD (6) made an error last start when squeezed up that proved costly and ended his chances. The start prior he was working home nicely from back in the pack when 5m in arrears of the winner BREACH THE BEACH and 3 back was runner-up to that same winner. The gate stings, again, but this looks within his reach.
DONNY JONES (8) is not far away from another win when the conditions suit after finishing runner-up at his past 2 outings. From gate 9 last start he worked home wide out to grab the silver behind A KERRY MAN. Gunned down after leading from gate 5 the start prior, with the right trip he can challenge.
JOVIAL JULIE (1) will be tightened from her latest outing when returning from a spell. Finding the pocket trail from gate 2, she was sound to the line. With options from the gate, she can feature.
TRUNKEY DIGGER (4) was chasing gamely last start to grab the silver behind the big winner OUR UNCLE JIM. Forget her run 2 back when making an error, she can be chiming in late.
SELECTIONS: SWORD AND SHIELD (6), DONNY JONES (8), JOVIAL JULIE (1), TRUNKEY DIGGER (4)
SUGGESTED BET: SWORD AND SHIELD (6) to win
