GOING: S(7)

IMPACT BUILDING SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

I Am Breathing to take charge ahead of Palikari at a strong tempo. NAAHRO (4) has been consistent to date and should run this trip out strongly. Drawn to get every chance third up. GOOD ONCE (1) is overdue a maiden win but has been close to a win of late. Top three claims. ROCKBARTON ICON (8) looks ready to peak now third-up into the campaign and has strong winning claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naahro win.
