GOING: G

Moama Bowling Club Maiden Plate 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.28).  

Hellish should lead a keen tempo. HELLISH (3) is a leader who has missed a whisker in his last two. Peaks now and should lead them a merry chase from the rails gate. BIG JIMMA (1) resumes and showed enough in his initial preparation to suggest he'll be very competitive. Was well-backed in those contests and has been gelded since. Maps for the run of the race. NEED A MIRACLE (8) resumes for Paddy Payne yard and has trialled. Has an awkward gate but Egan rides and no surprise to see him go well. The debutant BINOCULAR (2) will likely be best of the rest. Has the rail and they've scratched the stablemate who was a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Hellish.
