GOING: S(6)

EZY PROJECTS - BUILDING MADE EASY MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Not a great deal of pace on paper so it may be left to one of the debutants to roll to the front. SAPPHIRE ROSE (7) Blue Point filly from Rocket Commander on debut for the Bjorn Baker stable. Has impressed in her last two trials and gets every chance from the low gate. QUEEN OF THORNS (6) on the quick back with the 3kg claim again after sitting on the speed in the heavy conditions when third at Gosford. At her top now and worth plenty of thought. EXPEDITIOUSLY (3) resumes from a lengthy spell. Kept safe in betting on debut when a fading ninth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Fitted with the two mixed trials and not to be underestimated. SHUTTERING (8) comes out off a decent race when fifth over 1100m at Scone on debut. In leading yard and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sapphire Rose.
