GOING: S(7)

HANLON WINDOWS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Redolent and Dubliners matching motors, closely followed by Yesglenn. WAVE DANCER (4) drifted back early from the inside gate before she launched late from last on the turn with a gritty third over 1200m at Goulburn. Expect to see her race closer and prove hard to hold out over the extra journey. REDOLENT (9) came out quickly at her second run back before she folded up in the straight to run seventh over 1300m at Canberra in a fast run contest. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. YESGLENN (10) tongue-tie comes off and back in trip after he failed to close off with the 59kg when sixth over 1500m at Goulburn in a stronger contest. Drops 4kg in weight today and look for him to figure prominently. SETTA ICON (1) was prominent at the turn when he gripped on late to finish second over 1200m at the Sapphire Coast in a Super Maiden. Maps well and should be winning soon. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,10,1.
