GOING: H(8)

HAPPY EASTER FROM TTC Maiden Handicap 1625m

Track: SOFT6   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.4).  

Not much speed and Ready To Thunder may run them along. SUPER FAIR (9) has been around the mark on the Gold Coast poly, and returning to the turf won't bother. He comes right into it after scratchings and will prove hard to beat. HILLSIDE ROAD (3) hasn't hit his straps since the switch from a top Victorian yard. Third up today and gets a senior hoop for the apprentice. No surprise to see him make quick improvement. CALM BUCKLE (2) needed the first-up outing. Went well his only run the prior preparation and with the extra fitness can go a lot better. BENFICA LASS (4) is another galloper who can improve second-up in a weak race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Super Fair.
