GOING: H(8)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 7m 1000m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.45).  

Despite the wide draw Go Troppo should cross and set a genuine tempo. UZZIAH (2) classy gelding with good figures this track and trip. Comes out of a strong race after having to work hard early from the wide gate when a sound 1.75 lens fifth behind Terra Mater over 1400m at Newcastle in the Provincial WC Q on April 3. This is much easier and a 3kg claim is a bonus. Go close. SILVANITO (6) went through his grades quickly last time in and nice return when warmed up late to secure second over 1200m at Wyong on March 20. Maps to get plenty of favours and Koby Jennings keeps the ride. ELETTRICA (1) tough mare who scored a well-deserved victory fourth-up when a slick 3.5 len winner over 1500m at Rosehill four weeks ago. Up sharply in weight and will need everything to go her way back to the 1400m. BARANOF (18) looks set to peak for this fourth-up after running on late with the 59.5kg when second over 1350m at Wyong on April 11. Will take holding out if he gains a start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,6,1,18.
