GOING: H(10)

BCA BUILDING + ELITE TRUCK REPAIRS MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Lead up for grabs in a low-pressure contest. MEGA FIGHT (4) is trained locally and returned with a strong effort first up at this track. Has been placed on wet ground so must include second up. FAYE RUNAWAY (11) backed up some handy trials with a solid debut showing in similar company. Strips fitter on home patch and can easily find a few lengths. BLOOMIN' GOLD (8) has drawn poorly in all three career starts and tried hard first up at country level. With a better draw comes right into calculations in this contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mega Fight win.
