GOING: S(5)

KURRAWA SURF CLUB Maiden Plate 2050m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +9m 900m-400m; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.91)  

Shamiela should lead and control the tempo. MISS DYNAMO (5) is racing well and was a beaten favourite at Doomben nearly 4 weeks ago. She copped a check when making her run that day and will only need the right breaks this time to get the job done. Follow your money. CAPTAIN GOOD VIBES (3) had the winkers on for the first time when running into the money for the first time in his career at Ipswich just over 5 weeks ago. He is having his first run on his home track and can go one better. KALKANLI (2) had to do some work mid-race from a wide draw here 2 weeks ago and battled home into fifth. The blinkers are off for the first time and from a far superior draw, he is expected to make a quick return to the placings. Stick with him. DEEP DRIVE (8) did not have the best of trips here last time out and will be hoping for some better luck this time. She meets a modest line-up and is well worth including in all combinations. DESERT ANGEL (9) ran on late over 1800m here a fortnight ago and will relish the extra 250m. Each-way all day. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Dynamo each-way.
