GOING: H(10)

GLOUCESTER FARMERS MARKETS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. CRAZY MIKKI (8) was runner-up in the first four races of this prep, two of them on heavy decks, then went to town last start but was out of her depth in a 1100m maiden at Canterbury. Back in a modest country maiden today and gets her chance to finally break the ice. QUI ROUGE (6) was given time to settle but didn't run on as hoped on debut last time out over 900m at Newcastle. Steps back a level here and the extra 100m helps. Watch for a much better run. KERMITISAPET (9) began poorly before making some late inroads through heavy going at Port Macquarie recently. That was her first run for seven months so she should tighten right up for today's assignment. First starter ADELINA FALLS (3) placed in a recent Wyong trial. Any betting confidence should be taken on board. Hard to see any of the other runners winning - quite a few are on debut so keep an eye on the market moves. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crazy Mikki to win.
