GOING: S(6)

ALBURY WODONGA PLASTERING SERVICES MAIDEN HANDICAP 900m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3.5m 1600m-W/Post.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Brimin taking charge. READ MY LIPS (2) is a seven-start maiden who finds his race today from the inside draw. Went under narrowly second-up when a gritty second over 1000m at this track on June 7. Back in trip and no excuses against this lot. BERNAY (3) returned with a slogging neck second in the heavy (9) going over 1000m at Wagga on May 31. Near her top now and looks close to a win. BRIMIN (6) drops sharply in weight today with the claim third-up and a win looks imminent. Went out hard before tiring late when fourth over 1000m at this track on June 7. Solid each way prospect. BRAVE EMMA (5) struggled on the synthetic tracks of late and should appreciate the drop back to 900m. Well drawn and has the ability to take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Read My Lips to win.
