GOING: G(4)

ELITE SAND AND SOIL BOOT PRELUDE- 2YO HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Entire field on debut. Expecting the youngsters to go keenly. 2yo newcomers. BLAZING COURAGE (5) is at home and won a trial here by 8.2L. Draws a little awkwardly, but the nicely bred filly by Farnan is going to take plenty of beating. WORDS OF FIRE (4) is a colt by Outreach, and he went close in a Wyong trial. Jumps for the outside gate, but looks to have good ability and can fight out the finish. Ditto I'M A BEAUT (7), a first-starter by Exceedance from Katisam, who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Just missed in a recent trial at Kembla Grange. SIMPLY SONNET (8) is a two-year-old filly by Exceedance and has been fitted out with two provincial trials. Profiles well enough to consider. BIG LON (1) brings a near miss from a country trial and has the inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blazing Courage appeals on what we've seen.
