MIDWAY HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.14).  

Xtra Gear can work over from a wide draw to lead. BIOGRAPHER (5) looks set to peak third-up after stalking the speed with the 58.5kg when a sound second over 1200m at Gosford on April 10. Drawn to get the right run today and looks hard to hold out. EVERYONE'S A STAR (4) tenacious mare racing in the best form of her career. Up sharply in grade when a courageous seventh over 1200m in the G2 Sapphire Stakes at Randwick on April 13. Won her previous two races in this grade and looks great each way value. EYE PEA OH (11) caught the eye when came from near last on resumption when fourth over 1100m at Canterbury on April 17. Has clearly come back stronger and has a dynamite second-up record. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,4,11.
