KURRAWA SURF CLUB Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Cracking early tempo with More Than Xtra leading the way. I AM AMAZES (7) is unlucky to still be maiden placing at her past four outings including two runner-up finishes over this track and trip. Gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. The well-related WEEKEND ARTIST (6) (half to stallion I'm All The Talk) placed over this course and distance in his first run for the new stable and is sure to have come on since that effort. Looms as the main danger. SMASH 'N' GRAB (9) put in a much-improved performance last time out and may have turned the corner now. Top-three conveyance. ARCHERS REIGN (4) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Am Amazes to break through.
