GOING: N

LIFEFLIGHT LOTTERIES Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Only a moderate early tempo with no recognised leaders taking part. STRONG MARTINI (7) resumes for a sharp local yard and the in-form Wiggins is booked. She's looked the goods in her recent trials and she's sure to have come on. Expect a bold return. I AM AMAZES (5) improved again beaten a whisker here and then got too far back in stronger at Ipswich. Draws low today and can get back on track. BOOM CRUSHER (1) resumes for the Healy yard and placed here on debut. Just missed at Toowoomba after and gauge his ability on that. Has a small claim and has had two soft trials. CHERBOURG (2) was better again just beaten here off a wide barrier. Finally draws low and has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Strong Martini.
