GOING: G(4)

NAROOMA GOLF CLUB MAIDEN HANDICAP 920m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Denali Kai has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. NOBLE RUBY (8) Two-year-old filly by Rubick out of a Charge Forward mare on debut for the Robert & Luke Price yard. Placed in two trials and gets all the map favours with the claim. Looks a serious player here. ROSY SUE (4) is a five-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1000m at Wagga. Fitter for that outing and expected to figure prominently. ECHO CHROME (2) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 12 lengths away in ninth over 1600m at Terang. Dropping back sharply in distance and will find this easier. BRIAN'S HOPE (3) far from disgraced when returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago finishing seventh over 1000m at Goulburn. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,4,2,3.
