GOING: G(4)

JORDAN OGLESBY MAIDEN 1403m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +1m Entire.  

Expecting Great Reception to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. CANTILEVER (1) keeps knocking on the door and looks ready to break through. Returned fresh here recently and wasn’t far away after working into the clear late. Strips fitter and gets every chance to shed the maiden tag. ACOUSTIC BUBBLES (8) debuted in town and wasn’t disgraced against stronger opposition. This is easier and the run will have brought her right on. Expecting sharp improvement over the longer trip. BELVEDERE ROCK (2) closed off stylishly when resuming at Carnarvon. Has plenty of upside and can be right there at the business end. TORQUE OF WAR (3) has struggled to threaten of late but there's plenty of subsequent winners around him. Strips rock-hard fit and is in the mix. GREAT RECEPTION (6) showed pace on debut and draws to push forward again. If he finds the front uncontested, he could take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cantilever to win.
