GOING: H(10)

TAB VENUE MODE MAIDEN PLATE 1518m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 1600m-1000m, +7m 1000m-350m, true remainder.  

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. The Waller-trained UNIQUELY FAMOUS (6) tackled a stronger maiden first-up over 1350m at Ipswich three weeks ago and was never in contention. More at home over this sort of trip and there is far less depth to this field. Watch for a much better run. Stablemate BOMB PERIGNON (7) has been freshened up since a career-best performance over 1666m at Ipswich on 4 May, beaten just over a length after racing up on the pace throughout. Meets an inferior field today so if he handles the going this looks a big breakthrough opportunity. FRICTIONAL FORCE (4) returned a good figure three back when in the money over 1720m at Grafton. Recent efforts have been sub-standard but if on-song he is right up to this. PLAY IT COOL (5) ran second on a heavy track at this track two back - in the mix with a return to sloppy conditions. COLORADO TYCOON (3) battled on well to finish runner-up on a heavy deck at Port Macquarie last time out. Must be considered in similar circumstances this afternoon. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uniquely Famous to score.

Second run back. First-up after five months eased back early on 7th of 9 at Ipswich 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 13 over 1350m, slow going 5 len behind Sheza's Destiny carrying 58kg at $14.
