GOING: G(4)

CHRISTMAS RACEDAYS AT HRC 4YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.17)  

Pace will be genuine with Highland Eightgee and Royalify locking horns. I AM WILD (9) improved at each run back this time in and gets the right race set up today out to the 1500m. Strong through the line late when second over 1400m here on November 7. Tempo suits and look for her charging late. HIGHLAND EIGHTGEE (2) trained on the track and the stable has tinkered with his gear today. Will appreciate the 3kg claim from the good draw and looks great each-way value. ROYALIFY (7) enigmatic four-year-old-gelding who improves sharply second up. Failed to sprint over this trip first up when eighth over 1100m here on November 7. Gets weight relief with the claim and look for a sharp form reversal over this distance. NORTH TERRACE (5) Adelaide gelding out of a Fastnet Rock mare on debut for the Anthony Cummings yard. Had the five trials and looks ready to go despite drawing out. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Wild to win.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after six months couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at Warwick Farm Mdn on October 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Iceman with 58kg at $3. Previously second-up 5th of 8 at Newcastle Super Mdn on April 13 over 1500m, 5 len behind Ohtani carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. Since fitted with two solid trials and worth another chance in this easier contest.
