GOING: S(7)

TOOHEYS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m 1400m-W/Post; Out 4m Remainder. (Pent: 5.36).  

The speedy Divine Conclusion should find the front with Flying Celebration and Snipperty Vixen on his heels. DIVINE CONCLUSION (1) went forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just a head from the winner at Queanbeyan. Should be peaking now and is ready to get off the mark. GREY LAD (8) chased gamely into second last start at Albury. Strips fitter third-up and gets 4kgs off his back. Drawn much kinder this time and deserves a lot more market respect. DIPIERDOMENICO (4) was doing his best work late when finishing behind Grey Lad last start. Sure to improve second-up and can give this a big shake. STAY TUNED (2) made good headway in the lane to fill the frame at Hawkesbury. Back-marker who keeps coming. Will prove tough to hold out. UNITED FRONT (3) was well supported last time out but disappointed in finishing fifth here. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grey Lad each-way.
