GOING: H(8)

BRAYDEN CHATER MUDDERS MEMORIAL CG&E MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Cavendish leading the way. CAVENDISH (4) made a good fist of the debut assignment when placed and this is no harder. Early learner who is open to natural improvement so can have a major say second up. INDIGO STAR (6) profiles as an improver having a first look at provincial grade. Drawn to get every chance for a premier stable. LLEWELLYN (1) made a solid return to racing first up and races well here. Must include as a top four threat. KOTAISHI (2) was quite consistent last time in work and will be ready to go off two trials so looking for a good return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Cavendish.
