GOING: S(5)

Kevin Sharkie Maiden 1450m Track: SOFT 5 Clouds (Max: 13) Rail: Out 11m 1800m-1200m; Out 14m Remainder. (Pent: 4.52).
Expecting Rippen Gold to lead at just a moderate tempo. RIPPEN GOLD (11) presents off a heavily bet near-miss at this track/trip. Pires is a key jockey switch for the 3kg apprentice and he hits this at top. Rates to break through. OXY BOLT (3) resumed in the same contest and finished a smidgen ahead of the above. Fitter and is advantaged by the rails gate. Keeps Newitt and should go close. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (8) resumes and was tried twice at Listed level at the back of her previous preparation over middle distances. Has good form at 1400m and has recently trialled sharply here over 800m. Has the outside gate but looks ready to go. AL MAXIMUS (1) has been trialling well leading into this first up run and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Rippen Gold.
