GOING: S(5)

THE ARY TOUKLEY PROVINCIAL 4YO&UP MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Bethsheba possessing enough dash to find the front. CAPTAIN EAGLE (2) returns from a lengthy break after three mixed runs in his first prep. Since fitted with two sharp trials and looks ready to shed his maiden status. CANTE LIBRE (1) much better performance at his third race start when running on late with the 59kg to secure third over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Drawn out and has a massive fitness edge over these. BETHSHEBA (8) nine start maiden with ability resuming. Came out fast from the wide gate and found wanting late when fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Returns without a trial and is trained locally. Respect. MAXIMUM RIDE (3) another resuming from a lengthy break. Adept in all conditions and like the way he finished off last time in when fifth over 1200m here in a Super Mdn. Claim helps and has sprinted well in the past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Eagle to take holding out.
