GOING: G(4)

BOOK EVENT CENTRE FOR FUNCTIONS Maiden Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.01).  

No clear-cut the lead but they can run along. Competitive. The former Victorian IRRESISTIBLE FORCE (3) was heavily bet first-up over a short sprint and likely had excuses. His form is good for this and he draws the rail this time. The Stanley-Taylor linkage is lethal and hard to risk. EFFEMINATE (6) is another former Victorian and she went close at Townsville first-up bet into even-money. She has plenty up the sleeve and a top hoop sticks aboard. Draws awkwardly but rates a threat. EARLY FUSION (1) resumes and has switched from a Sydney barn. He has a handy 2kg claim and metro form that stacks right up. Keep very safe. GOLD ACADEMY (2) is third-up and has switched from a Brisbane yard on a 32-day return. Maps well and will find this a lot easier than Doomben. The late betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Irresistible Force.
