GOING: H(8)

ARGUS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1412m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Pace looks genuine from Finance Partner, Little Bit Yours and Fradoro. CONSIDER IT READY (4) was lining up for just the fourth time when she comfortably got the job done over this course and distance last start. Enjoyed getting out to seven furlongs for the first time that day and can go on with it now. GRAND HORIZON (3) appreciated the drop in grade and step up in distance last time out when third here in a similar race to this 25 days ago. Genuine mare who draws an inside gate for a change and poses a serious threat. FRADORO (5) comes here off a couple of plain efforts over 1250m. Last raced at this trip on 2 March and won with a bit in hand in a Tuncurry maiden. Likely improver. LITTLE BIT YOURS (8) was in the money over 1450m at Quirindi two back then failed at Newcastle last time. Better placed today and can bounce back. FINANCE PARTNER (6) hasn't been far away at his last two runs and looks in need of this distance now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Consider It Ready to win again.
