GOING: G(4)

KLOSTERS 90 YEARS CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1850m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of early pace from Oakfield Blue Bell, Lady Gold and Risshuu primarily. Kiwi import CITY GOLD READY (1) had his first run for Ryan/Alexiou and was returning from a six-month spell when a decent fifth over 1500m at this track last start. Contested the three-year-old classics back in NZ so he needs this sort of trip. Nicely placed to score. AL RAS BLUES (3) won her maiden over the mile at Hawkesbury two back then missed the kick and raced very wide in a forgive run here last time. Placed at the track and trip in July so she has the right profile. Perennial placegetter LADY GOLD (6) worked home well but found one better as she often does recently over 1625m at Wyong. Untried at this journey but gives every indication she will run it out. BLAZING SWORD (11) is a progressive maiden who has been in the placings at his last two, most recently in a Class 1 over 1800m at Hawkesbury. Blinkers going on may add some spark. TORIE'S ROSE (8) ground out a maiden win at Hawkesbury eight days ago. New to the trip but worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: City Gold Ready to win.
