GOING: G(4)

CENTRAL COAST GRANITE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Power Hungry has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. ARTEMEX (8) has not appeared since starting at $3.70 in the Group 3 Golden Gift in November. Settled midfield in that $1 million feature but disappointed in the run home. Trialling well for Ciaron Maher and can make amends in this far easier assignment. RUSSIAN REIGN (3) also returns after just one run in the maiden prep, an inglorious fifth of six over this trip at Hawkesbury 20 weeks ago. Was very green on that occasion so expect a bit more this time with the race experience on board. MONOCRU (4) is back after a five-month break. Hit the line well to finish a close second over this distance at Kembla at the only run when last in work. Recent trial winner who should be in for a strong campaign. WAVETON (7) was good on debut two back at Hawkesbury then hung badly and was eased up most recently at Wyong. Can do a lot better if the manners improve. STELLAA LASS (6) might need more ground now but the effort on debut over this distance was encouraging. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artemex to win first-up.
