GOING:

THE GIBSON Maiden Plate 1650m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: + 12m winning post to 1200m, +9m Entire remainder. (Pent: 6.60)  

Strong pace from Crusader Voyage, Tassorati and Dust Cloud, with Alkebulan and Speegle on their heels. Former NSW galloper CRUSADER VOYAGE (4) is having his first run for the Bruce yard here but should find this easier than what he faced down south. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and has placed three of four over the mile journey. Rates the testing material against this line-up. DUST CLOUD (5) strips fitter third-up from the break and hails from the astute Gollan barn. Top-three candidate. The well-related COOL DRINKS (3) (half to 2xG1 winner Shout The Bar) looked handy winning a recent trial and may run a race while fresh. TASSORATI (10) resumed in reasonable order two runs back but was comfortably accounted for last start when ninth over 1350m at this track. Fitter and well placed to atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crusader Voyage to break the maiden status.
