GOING: S(5)

GIBSON GRAZING Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +2m 500m-300m; True Remainder.  

Abundant pace from Texas Terrier, Tiger Paw and Gluttony vying for the lead with Boulevard Boy on their backs. ELLES MY NAME (8) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at Gatton, beaten 2 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. JAKEBRAKE (4) was never in contention last time over 1200m at Gold Coast when he finished ninth. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. MADAM GRISELDA (10) settled well back then made a little ground and finished sixth last time out over 1200m at Doomben three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Capable of a big run. HOLLER DASH (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Gatton. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run. GLUTTONY (3) don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elles My Name can get the win.
