GOING: G(4)

SUPAGAS SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +11m Entire Course.  

Marco Polo and Look Here will settle forward and can set a moderate tempo. HELLFIGHTER (6) made steady inroads from before the turn and looked a chance but couldn't hold off a swooper last start over this course and distance. Cherry ripe at the third run back from a spell and gets the gun run from a favourable draw. Ready to win. TITAN OF FURY (7) settled back in the field and was just fair through the line last time out over 1400m here. A slightly longer journey should help. Can do better. ALL STAR (4) registered his fourth minor placing from ten runs when beaten in a photo over today's distance at Kembla recently. Has been up for a long while but continues to put in. STABILITY (3) came from next to last with an eye-catching final split over 1200m at Gosford last start, beaten under two lengths. Makes plenty of appeal on a bigger track today over more ground. LOOK HERE (5) was brave in defeat last time out over this trip at Kembla when coming off a 38-day break. Fitter and could easily take this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quite a few chances - edging towards Hellfighter.
