FAMILY FUNDAY 19 JULY MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1100m-450m, True Remainder .  

Strong tempo assured with Heeza Steve and Yes Arnie leading the way over Galactic Force. GALACTIC FORCE (2) second run for the new yard he raced closer when up in trip for a narrow second over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Finds a weaker race with the fitness edge. Hard to hold out. OLE GOT SWAGGER (8) returns from a lengthy break. Drifted back on debut and failed to get into the contest with a poor seventh over 1200m at Wyong last August. Fitted with the two trials and the blinkers go on for this. Forward showing anticipated. YES ARNIE (4) ten-start Maiden due for a change of luck. Strong through the line when third over 1400m at this track. Can race closer and stays in the mix. ANNA KARENINA (5) was unwanted in betting and ran accordingly on debut with a fading ninth over 1200m at Wyong. Strips fitter on her home track. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Galactic Force ticks plenty of boxes.
