GOING: S(5)

HAWKESBURY BREWING CO. MIDWAY 4YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Uncle Alf to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. DRESSED IN GRAY (7) gets back in her races but has found the line with purpose to fill a minor placing at both runs this prep. Steps up in trip today which will suit and drops 1.5kgs under today's scale. Ready to win. MEERUT (11) was up there on straightening but capitulated in the run home over 1250m at Newcastle recently. Fitter for two runs back and he likes Gosford. TARTANA (5) resumes. Ran some nice races over a bit more ground last prep. Capable of a top-three finish while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dressed In Gray.
