GOING: H(8)

TURFMATE INTERNATIONAL 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +5m 1100-450, +3m 450 -WP, True remainder. (Pent: 6.03)  

Farset is the probable leader in the small field. FARSET (1) six-start Maiden set to get off the mark today third-up. Took control early from the inside gate and nailed late with the 60.5kg for a narrow second over 1350m at Wyong. Can slide across from the wide gate and is expected to handle the conditions. SIMPLY UNIQUE (6) Snitzel filly who drifted back on debut before finishing a close-up fourth over 1100m at Canterbury. Extra trip in her favour and shapes as the main danger. FITZCLARENCE (3) stalked the good tempo at his second career start with a most improved second over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Like the way he attacked the line last start and gets map favours again. WEE WINN (8) was unwanted in betting on debut before running a respectable on-speed fourth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Slight query in the going but must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Farset looks to find his race.
