GOING: H(10)

I LOVE TURF Maiden Handicap 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   +1.5m 1000m-930m; True Remainder  

Slick tempo. Former NSW galloper PEACEFUL PRINCE (3) has been thereabouts in all three runs down south and should find this assignment an easier task. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and gets Maloney on from the low draw. Expected to feature prominently. MAKE IT SO (7) has been in the mix in both outings and rates a definite top-three candidate on those efforts. CRYPTO KING (8) hails from a handy family (half to G3 winner Get The Nod) and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. One for the multiples. LORD LOUISON (9) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Peaceful Prince to break the maiden status.
