GOING: S(6)

GWYDIR GALLOP CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Anaisa leading the way. NIRMATA (3) trialled well at home and then raced handy and was too good at Armidale on debut. Has plenty of upside and looks capable of taking the next step over the longer sprint. PAN A MILLION (2) has placed as favourite in his last two and is busting to post another win. Led at Dalby in the most recent and rates to go close. SMILING AMOS (1) switched from the Ciaron Maher yard in Victoria and just missed at Inverell first-up. He's been off the scene for 1096 days, so there was merit in the effort. He has more to give and will get every chance from a soft gate. DIG BEE (5) improved at Narromine and fourth-up is in the mix. AIN'T TELLIN (4) would be right in it at best and has the tongue tie on for the first time. Should be ready to show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Nirmata.
