GOING: H(8)

NZB WEANLINGS 26 JUNE 2YO MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True 400m-W/Post; +2m Remainder.  

Expecting Impact Zone to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. IMPACT ZONE (2) heavily supported on debut when a narrow on pace second over 1000m at Hawkesbury. Fitter now and capable of going one better from the good draw. OFFENBACH (3) Snitzel gelding who resumes with two handy runs under his belt. Placed on debut over this track and trip before finishing behind O'Ole and Memo in a strong race at Wyong. Returns with two good trials and expected to figure prominently. FEARED (1) is a two-year-old colt by I Am Invincible out of Rosina Kojonup on debut for the Anthony & Sam Freedman stable. Comes here with a sharp 1050m trial win. Blinkers go on and capable of taking this out. LIFE AFTER LOVE (6) resumes after making an encouraging debut from the wide gate with a fading fifth over 1000m at the Gold Coast last December. Returns with the one trial and the tongue tie goes on. Stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impact Zone to win in a tight contest.
