GOING: G(4)

OLIVE THOMPSON MEMORIAL MAIDEN 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.76)  

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. ALABAMA ELEGANCE (5) disappointed last start at Northam after going under as favourite here first-up. Up to 1200m now doesn't look an issue and the inside barrier should see her close to the speed. Can make her own luck with Corver back on board and she looks the one to beat. THE SHARERGHINI (4) resumes today for a new stable after switching to the Peter Fernie barn following his last trial on the 9th of June where he got the job done. He looks well placed at this level and was tested in stronger company to end last campaign. Looks in good order and can put his best foot forward. HERLS (6) is on debut for Luke Fernie with Brayden Gaerth in the saddle. He's trialled as though the extra trip will suit first-up after only going over 400m in all four of his trials. Strikes a suitable race and can play a major role. WITCHY WOODS (1) showed a glimpse last start and won't be far away. Next best is BONDI'S SON (3). SUGGESTED PLAY: Alabama Elegance gets the nod.
