GOING: G(4)

BIZZY BRAHMANS ALAN ABRAHAMS REMEMBRANCE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1205m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +7m entire .  

Not much early speed of note and Rock On Angel and Egyptian Lass may find themselves setting a steady tempo. ROCK ON ANGEL (2) has shown glimpses of ability in her short career, including a placing here two back, and looks well-placed to shed the maiden tag in this company. DASHING MARS (4) wasn’t disgraced on debut at the Sunshine Coast and should take natural improvement from the experience. Expecting a sharper effort. EGYPTIAN LASS (8) wasn’t far away last start at Casino. With further fitness on her side, she shapes as a key contender. GRAVITATION (5) has been freshened and steps out for a new stable. Drops back in trip after tackling longer journeys last campaign and is worth keeping safe. MONONYM (1) returns and looks best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rock On Angel to win.
