GOING: H

TAB We're On Maiden Plate Highweight 2000m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.83)  

Lack of early pace so looking at a pedestrian affair over this journey. The most moderate of maidens. NICOFFHOME (4) gets his chance. Raced on speed when runner-up two back in an improved run then runner-up again here last time over 2000m. This is no tougher and going well enough to get off the mark this time. THE SMASH FACTOR (6) looks the main threat. Has placed at all three this time in, the latest winding up strongly here in the same race at Nicoffhome. Overdue and will go close. DUNLEER LAD (3) raced out of grade last time and started at big odds, finishing 10th here in a BM62. Back in class and out in trip should see a much improved run. ROYAL BEAU (5) has raced only twice and while yet to do much can sneak into the finish with the added experience. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nicoffhome can get off the mark.
