GOING: S(7)

FINCIERGE Maiden Handicap 1800m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.80)  

Keen battle for the lead with Casterly Rock, Will It Snow and Kobability in advance of O'caldino and Tulong. CASTERLY ROCK (1) has been knocking on the door since making the move from Sydney, and he kicked hard when finishing runner-up as favourite here nearly 2 weeks ago. He has the pole position and can break through for that overdue first win. MAZIS (2) finished fifth fresh upon a heavy track at Doomben last time out and had won a trial before that. He will be spot-on for this assignment and will be suited by the step up to a middle distance for the first time. Stick with her on an each-way basis. CHAMPAGNE ROUGE (6) will be peaking third up from a spell, and the 1800m will suit her right down to the ground. She ran on strongly from well back at Ipswich last time out, and can figure in the top 3 this time. OUT OF LUCK (8) has been thereabouts lately and has the blinkers off for the first time. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mazis each way.
