GOING: N

GARRY DYER MAIDEN 950m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Speed should be right on over the 950m journey. BEYOND THE WALL (1) just missed in a photo finish here two back before a 1L defeat at Northam most recently when favourite. He can find the front again today back to this track and trip and with Chris Parnham remaining in the saddle. Knocking on the door and looks to have found his race. BARBIELAND (4) led them up over this track and trip a fortnight ago when beaten 0.7L second-up into the campaign. The inside barrier should see her close to the speed again and there is further improvement anticipated now. Right on the cusp and appears the main danger. MUZZA'S GIFT (6) was good here on debut as favourite before a disappointing effort at Northam last time out. Back to this scenario looks to suit and the blinkers go on now. Expecting her to make her presence felt. PRINCE (3) looked good in a recent trial in readiness for this and returns a gelding. Right in the mix. CHAMPAGNE COAST (5) was solid here first-up and looks an improver with the blinkers going on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beyond The Wall can get the job done.
