GOING: S(5)

M&T TYRES MAIDEN HANDICAP 1210m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Solid tempo headed by Going Dutch and Dee Stormed. GOING DUTCH (1) led with blinkers on for the first time but didn't quite run out a strong 1350m when a distant third last start at Ipswich. Well drawn and the shorter trip looks a good option. Should give this a mighty shake. SIBELIUS (3) resumed with a solid second over this distance at Beaudesert last time out when lining up for only the second time. Back in good order and with a little improvement can go one better. CHOCKABLOCK (5) has been runner-up at all three appearances since changing stables this time in work, most recently motoring home over today's journey at Kilcoy. Cherry-ripe and will be hard to hold out down a much longer straight today. DEE STORMED (4) led but disappointed in the run home last start over this trip at Coffs Harbour. Good effort when resuming the run prior at Grafton so worth another chance. Market watch on BETTER THAN ANYONE (6) first-up from a 19-week spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Going Dutch.
