GOING: H(10)

OATEN'S CASINO 2YO SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1010m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. SCION (3) two career runs have been sound and gets his chance to break through today. Sat on the speed when a fighting second over 1106m at Grafton on April 30. Race experience should take him a long way here. PETTICOAT (2) solid win on debut at Newcastle before heading north when a plugging fifth over 1000m at Eagle Farm on March 23. Kept fresh and improvement is expected from the inside draw. SPICY DUCK (1) won well on debut at Ipswich before resuming with a wilting fifth over 800m at Ipswich on May 1. Fitter now and since fitted with a recent 1050m trial win. Can play a leading role. SHAMADAN (7) is a Tassort filly out of a Snitzel mare on debut for the Matt Dunn yard. Has two trials under the belt and Ben Looker takes the ride. Forward showing expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,2,1,7.
