GOING: G(4)

RELIABLE ASSET MAINTENANCE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Bambino Chino, Working Class Girl and My Testimony. SHARPASSA (3) won two trials and then went close at Bunbury on debut. Improved again there when leading and winning a Maiden easily bet into the red. Fitter again and from a low draw and can take the next step. Plenty of interest in the return of GANGSTER GODDESS (5), who was last seen 187 days ago beaten 1L at this track over 1200m. She will be naturally improved, and the gun jockey is engaged. Jumps from the inside barrier and is feared. BAMBINO CHINO (4) improved sharply when missing by 1L from the front at Bunbury and then folded up at big odds in tougher grade at Ascot. This suits her much better, and she'll carry just 54.5kg with the claim. DIRECT DEBIT (1) made progress finishing midfield last start at Ascot when unwanted in the market, is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sharpassa with the race fitness.
