GOING: G(4)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.37).  

Solid tempo with Satness leading from Tenderize and Forecaster. THE EXTREME CAT (8) improving gelding going nicely through his grades. Had genuine excuses second-up in this company on the heavy (8) track before turning it around with a slick victory over 1300m at Hawkesbury on July 21. Returned good figures at the latest and will have little trouble running the 1400m out from the inside draw. Go close. PLUCKTEN (9) improving gelding getting better with age. Powered late with a dominant 2.5 len win over 1500m at Hawkesbury on July 11. Recent performance suggests he's up to this. TENDERIZE (13) only the one win from 19 starts and gave a glimpse of his ability when a head second over 1300m at Kembla Grange on July 18. Drops further in weight and the blinkers come off. Value runner. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,9,13.
