GOING: S(5)

BLUE SPEC DRILLING MAIDEN 1630m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +7m entire. (Pent: 7.30)  

A keen contest with Mad Spitfire and Lanta leading from Billy The Boss. GRACEFUL LASS (5) disappointed first-up but flew late last start over 1300m here when only 0.8L off the winner. Up to the 1630m is a big tick and comes into this third-up from an inside barrier. She's an improving filly and she can go to the next level now. Can go one better here. LANTA (3) missed in a photo finish before a 2.5L defeat last time out over 1400m this time around. The inside draw looks ideal as he hits his peak fitness for Galati, who was on board for that narrow defeat two back. Can bounce back to his best. SAINTY CULLITY (1) can improve with the fresh run under his belt and he has placed at this track and trip previously. Can play a leading role. SOPHISTRY (6) not out of this on her recent form and she can improve getting back on top the ground. BILLY THE BOSS (4) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Graceful Lass can get the job done.
