GOING: H(10)

BOUTIQUE RACING & BREEDING CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2042m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +1m 1550m-1150m, +2m Remainder.  

Sorutal, Gypsy Wish and Clive's Glory to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. CLASSIC SHIRAZ (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, putting a significant gap to his nearest rival over this course and distance. Winning rider stays aboard and gets her chance to repeat the dose. CLIVE'S GLORY (5) comes through tougher racing, and was far from disgraced last time in fourth out over 1700m at Ipswich three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead and best figures should see him run well. PRESTIGE ICE (10) was in contention on the corner and finished a close second last time over 1700m at Ipswich, beaten 0.7 lengths. Has handled the distance rises well so far, so worth following up. DIVINE EFFORT (1) knuckled down to shed his maiden tag second-up then turned in a decent effort last time out when third over the mile at Coffs Harbour on a wet deck. Rises sharply in trip fourth-up but is expected to handle it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Classic Shiraz.
