GOING: H(10)

PBL LAW GROUP F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP 1350m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Kata Kapi should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. OUTCAST GIRL (5) solid return when launched late from off the speed to secure third over 1300m at Hawkesbury on April 18. Strips much fitter now and should get through the conditions. BUBBLES AND CAVIAR (1) relished the heavy (9) conditions from the good draw when a fighting long neck second over 1262m at Taree on April 20. This looks tougher but she has fitness on her side. Capable of testing this field. OVERWATCH (6) beaten for early speed on debut when a plugging eighth over 1250m at Canterbury on April 17. This looks more to her liking over the extra trip. Expected to improve sharply. KATA KAPI (8) only the one placing from 12 starts and expecting more here. Went out hard before tiring late when fifth over 1200m at Gosford on April 25. Gets map favours again and place prospects look best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Outcast Girl to win.
