GOING: H(10)

GUNDAGAI DISTRICT SERVICES CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1180m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Larkin leading the way. SECOND WITNESS (7) is a five-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent outing over 1080m at Canberra Acton after she was well back on straightening. Among the top chances in what looks a more suitable race. CASCATA SPRITZ (5) finished fifth last start over 1000m at Wangaratta, an improvement on her sixth on debut at Donald the run before. Finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. STAR ROYAL (8) resumes. Drawn out when a disappointing ninth over 1170m at Wangaratta at the latest appearance on December 22. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Sure to be competitive. BLACKBIRD (4) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished ninth over 1400m at Wagga. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,8,4.
