GOING: H(8)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Maiden Plate 2200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.30)  

A pedestrian gallop without a recognised on-pacer engaged. CHAMPAGNE ROUGE (8) found more like her best at the Sunshine Coast and then was outgraded here last time off a wide gate. Hard fit now and is worth another chance. STATE OF AFFAIRS (5) raced favourite this track/trip and was beaten into second. The Waller-trained galloper is still shy of his NSW best and has trialled well since last seen. Ready to win. STYNSY (6) peaks, and the former Victorian has pieces of form that would have him in the finish. Comes back to the turf and can show more. ARTSPACE (1) also returns to the turf and would be around the mark at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Champagne Rouge.
