GOING: S(7)

GOULBURN AUSTRALIA 2YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 5.42)  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a solid tempo. Sydney trainers hold the key. DEMI GOD (2) jumped an even-money favourite in the $204,900 Inglis 2yo challenge at Scone on debut, but lacked finishing dash (vet cleared). He must have been showing plenty and has the first-time blinkers applied. Deserves another chance. FARSET (4) resumes and was spelled after a hit-out in the rich Inglis Nursery at Randwick on debut. He's trialled twice in town and will be naturally improved. ANDHE'S BRAVE (1) debuts and has been well-trialled. Won his latest at Warwick Farm by 4L, and he draws an inside gate. Farset's stablemate DUBBO BOY (3) debuts and has shown enough at the trials to keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Demi God.
