GOING: H(9)

OPAL PACKAGING PLUS/HEPWORTH INDUSTRIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1007m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Slick tempo assured from Sigsworth and Angelinthenightsky leading the charge. In a weak maiden SIGSWORTH (3) looks the one to beat. Debuted over this distance at Kempsey five weeks ago where he led for home but tired late and missed the placings. Sure to progress after that run and should take plenty of catching. SWEDEN (4) battled on well and wasn't beaten far in a much stronger maiden over this distance at Grafton two runs back. Big chance if he recaptures that form. ANGELINTHENIGHTSKY (5) has showed plenty of dash but weakened late in her two runs to date, both over today's journey. Sure to be there for a long way. DURUSEHVAR (7) resumes. Best efforts during her maiden campaign stack up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sigsworth on top.
