GOING: G(4)

RIVERINA PLASTER WORKS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +3m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Sir Lunchalots and Undercut pressing forward with Mo Cent not far away. UNDERCUT (5) made the perfect return here last month when knuckling down strongly to get the verdict and shed his maiden tag. Kept fresh for this and can repeat the dose. MOONLIGHT DREAM (3) has left herself with too much to do in her two runs back but has hit the line strongly. Hitting her straps now and will take some stopping. MO CENT (6) accounted for a maiden field over 1180m at Gundagai last start, finishing 2 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Shaun Guymer was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders. DONEGAL BAY (2) gave away a considerable start over 1200m at this track last time before hitting the line well to finish fifth. Can play a role in the finish. ARISTOCRAT (1) drove hard to arrive just in time to get off the mark at Kembla Grange. Will need a smart steer from the wide draw but is a likely improver that needs to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Undercut can win again.
