A member for 3 years, Sig is one of the lucky few to have owned a city winner, last year at Caulfield, paying $30-1. On course Saturday, he is hoping he can deliver some success with his tips.

Race Preview

TOO DARN DISCREET (15) creates interest dropping 4.5kg in weight and getting a senior rider aboard. While she finished seventh of eight at Caulfield first up, she was simply out-sped settling last off a fast tempo, actually working home quite well. Her 3yo Spring form as a G3 and G2 winner reads well and getting up in trip looks ideal with that pipe opener providing a good platform. ONE LONG DAY (11) is a ripper having finished in the quinella in 8/9 runs. He just found one better first up atSandown Lakeside over 1200m and while rising in trip quickly, he does boast a win over La Fracas at this track and trip which reads well. OUTTA COMPTON (5) is racing in fine form, just missing the hattrick at Caulfield last start. Can land in a prominent spot and take beating. HE'LL RIP (14) struggled last time without the best of runs but was in good form prior and has won at a mile. EL SOLEADO (1) has a big weight but is suited up to this trip now and the first up run was good.
