GOING: G(4)

HRC MOTEL CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.10)  

Belgrano to take up the running with Malbork Castle and Murphilly close at hand. TWILIGHT ELEGANCE (4) Dundeel filly who stretches out to her right trip third up. Put paid to a handy field first up when coming from back in the field for a game Super Maiden victory over 1400m at Kembla. Drifted back from the good draw and failed to get into the contest when sixth over 1600m at Wyong. Winning rider back aboard and expected to go close. MALBORK CASTLE (1) rewarded for his consistency at his fourth run back when a game on pace winner over 1800m here. Drops slightly in weight and good enough to win again. PRO VELOCITY (8) deep into her prep and maps to get a better run today. Worked hard early from the wide gate when a plugging fourth over 2100m at Gosford. Doesn't have to improve much to get off the mark. MURPHILLY (7) looks the best of the rest after chipping away late when third over this trip at Gosford. SUGGESTED PLAY: Twilight Elegance and Malbork Castle to fight it out.
