GOING: G(4)

HRC MOTEL PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: +2m 800m-400m, True Remainder .  

A solid tempo on the cards with Frostisen leading the way. FROSTISEN (6) knocked up late in a fast run contest on debut, with a tough second over 1100m at Wyong in a Super Maiden. Has further upside heading into this and gets every chance from the draw. KING STRAAND (2) I Am Invincible gelding from the good producing mare Diademe on debut for the Ed Cummings yard. Fitted with the five mixed trials and looks ready to go on his home track. Leading prospect with the lugging-bit and tongue-tie going on. DEMMO DERMY (4) resumes. Made his debut in a decent Maiden last July when sixth over 1200m at Newcastle behind Hillier. Strengthened over the break and primed for this with the two trials. ARTFULL (3) Headwater gelding from All Too Soft on debut for the astute Sara Ryan yard. Given the two trials and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,2,4,3.
