The Big Ticket to take up the running at a moderate tempo. Very weak maiden. SPEEDY PETE (2) led but was overwhelmed late over 1400m at Armidale two back. Out of his depth more recently in a relatively strong line-up at Scone. Best run this prep was first-up at this circuit. Going well enough to test these. KEINBAH'S GIFT (6) just missed over 1000m at this track when resuming then ran on fairly for fifth over this distance at Port Macquarie last time. Cherry ripe at the third run back and looks the obvious threat. MARKWELL MELODY (7) stuck on fairly at Port Macquarie recently when fresh from a five-week let-up. Nicely in after the claim and can build on that last performance. THE BIG TICKET (10) is ready to do something positive at the third run back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Speedy Pete can get away with this.

KRIS LEES 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 58.0KG A Carusi & Mrs K L Lees Three-year-old filly (Vino Rosso - Dancer's Rose) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut. Was third in a Beaumont (Newcastle) barrier trial over 1000m on March 17. Won't need to be all that smart to mix it with these. |
