GOING: S(6)

RINNAI MAIDEN PLATE 1010m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Duke Of Bronte leading the way. DUKE OF BRONTE (1) continues to knock on the door. Was again well found by the market last start at Hawkesbury in what has proven a strong form race. Drawn to advantage and is a leading player. KICKAMUSHU (7) is ready to make her return for the Bateup camp. Has shown positive signs in her first two preps without being able to land the winning blow. Can give this a big shake fresh. JINSOKU (2) also resumes and strips fitter for two solid trials in readiness. Don't take lightly. PUZZLER (9) ran well below market expectations when resuming at Goulburn when she was too bad to be true. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Duke Of Bronte to win.
