Sportsman's weekend winnersSUNSHINE COAST: Agitate (R2 No. 1 Trainer Kelly Schweida) - looked super in leading all the way four runs back in the Listed Mick Dittman, beating subsequent winner Havana over 1100m, but has found the wide gates and 1200m a bridge too far at his last three. Had no answer for the inform Architect last time at Eagle Farm but still clung on to second spot and the big kicker for tomorrow is that he finally drops back to 1000m. Likely to be two lengths in front on settling and over this shorter trip they won’t catch him.
FLEMINGTON:Jimando (R6 No. 8 Trainer Tony McEvoy) - got lost out the back when resuming at Morphettville last time, giving them a big start on the bend but motoring home over the last 200m to finish close-up behind Nearest To Pin. Given some time to get over that run and will appreciate the extra trip tomorrow. Goes very well at Flemington and improved many lengths second-up last prep carrying 60kg to victory over this course and distance. Incredible value at $11.
MORPHETTVILLE: More Than Eagle (R2 No. 7 Trainer David Jolly) - is a Wolf Blass mare resuming for the first time since finishing 4th at MP on Jan 18. She has only had the 8 starts so far for 2 wins and 3 placings. One of those placings was a 3rd on a slow track so we cannot seriously vouch for her on anything worse but feel sure that her trainer will sum up the situation and chose wisely. If not tomorrow, then some other time.
