GOING: H(9)

AARON GRANT ELECTRICAL 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 4.75)  

A small field that lacks a pacemaker. FACEOFF (4) has ability and like the way he finished off after catching the eye late when fourth over 1300m at Canberra. Finally drawn a low gate and can race closer to the speed today. Leading prospect. ZO FRILLING (6) two runs back have been encouraging and should find this a little easier after gripping on late to secure third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Near her top for this and has solid claims. LORD VETTORI (1) has finished in the minor money at three of his five career starts and is due for a change of luck. Covered ground in the run and kept finding on the line when second over 1200m at Dubbo in a Super Maiden. BROADCAST BOOGIE (7) returned from a lengthy break with a plodding fifth over 1000m here. Strips fitter and the race has fallen away with the scratchings. Blinkers go on and has rough place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Faceoff to take stopping.
