GOING: H(10)

HLW PROJECTS 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1250m Track: HEAVY 10 Clouds (Max: 15) Rail: True.
Expecting Lightscameraaction to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. POCKET EIGHTS (2) has been contesting much deeper maidens than this of late and been competitive. Didn't have the best of luck when beaten just over two lengths over 1400m at Newcastle last start. Scratched from Race 2 over 1450m to come back to this trip. Great chance to open the account. MY LITTLE RED FOX (3) ran a better race last start when lining up for the second time, working home fairly to get up for fourth over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Capable of playing a big role if he raises the bar again. NAY PEE CEE (1) is back after a year-long spell. Only raced twice in the maiden prep, missing a debut win by inches at Taree over this distance. Betting holds the key. HELL OF A LOVE (7) didn't do much first-up for new trainer Brett Bellamy but is worth a ticket at big odds with winkers going on today. LIGHTSCAMERAACTION (8) is a chance if left alone in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pocket Eights to win.
