MIDWAY HANDICAP 1300m Track: Soft 5 Clouds (Max: 24) Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.35) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Byron is expected to lead at a keen tempo. LADY ICHIKAWA (8) won her maiden two runs back then ran on powerfully to just arrive in time in a Class 1 over 1200m at Newcastle last start. Lightly raced mare who is putting it all together now. Maps nicely behind a strong tempo and with the light weight can easily chalk up the hat trick. MONTE SUPREME (7) went back from a wide alley and was left with too much to do in a Midway over 1200m at Randwick a fortnight ago. Finally draws a decent gate and over this slightly longer trip she poses a genuine threat. DIRECT FIRE (10) just missed when resuming over 1200m at Kembla recently. Awkwardly drawn but strips fitter and should be thereabouts. CONRAD (1) never got out last start at Randwick so forget the result. Ready to find form at the third run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lady Ichikawa each-way.
