ABBEY TIMBER - GARY TURNER MEMORIAL 4YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Pace genuine with Cryptonic and Pombia pressing hard closely followed by Whispering Muriel and Magnolia Jewel. POMBIA (4) produced two excellent efforts in his debut campaign and recent trial win was sharp and fast. Can breakthrough now. CRYPTONIC (2) was competitive at provincial level last campaign and beat the clock in a recent trial win. With a low draw has winning claims. ARTIFACTX (1) was placed at this track and trip last campaign and looked in good nick resuming in country grade. Consistent to date and this suits second up. MAGNOLIA JEWEL (7) produced a sharper effort first up at country level and strips fitter. Minor claims at a similar trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pombia win.
