GOING: G(4)

VALLA REAL ESTATE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Lightscameraaction leading from Spelterini and Freya's Moment. BOLD BENDER (1) is back from a five-month spell. Raced twice in the maiden prep, the pick of the runs and solid second on debut over this trip at Orange. Recent trial winner who looks set for a bright return. FREYA'S MOMENT (4) returns after a three-month break. Opened the last campaign with a minor placing over 1050m at Inverell. Nicely placed to put in a similar performance. LIGHTSCAMERAACTION (6) last appeared when a tiring fourth over 1250m at Kempsey in June. Speedy mare who will give a sight around this tight circuit. FRUIT TINGLE (5) has had plenty of chances but can fill a top four spot on her best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bold Bender to win.
