GOING: G(3)

Bill Anderson Memorial Mdn 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Thundershowers Early   Rail: True.  

No clear leader on paper so Sathern may be the one to kick up on the rail. BLAINE should be ready to peak third up and went close last time when only beaten 0.4L at Tamworth. Placed at both previous second up runs and at seven of 12 starts overall so this looks the right race for him. The recent placegetters are the ones to focus on in this maiden. BLAINE improved sharply from first to second run from a spell. He will be sitting midfield and looking to run on. SATHERN missed by a nose last week. He sat on the pace and can do that again here. He needs to win now. SHE'S SHARP AS was slow out but worked home OK on debut. She will be better for the added furlong. CROWN MAHARANI weakened the last bit last time. He is back in journey here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Blaine to break through third up.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 10 runners at Tamworth Mdn Sep 27 over 1000m, on heavy track; 5-1/2 len behind Maddie De Belle carrying 59kg. Second run from a spell made ground from midfield; 2nd of 12 runners at Tamworth Mdn Oct 10 over 1200m, slow track; a long-neck behind Lady Balladeer with 57.5kg. Fitter now and making headway every start. Take beating.

Gelding by Casino Prince facing the starter for the first time. Trial form indicates he's up to a solid debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Gunnedah over 1000m on Oct 8. Capable of a cheeky run at debut.
