GOING:

CELEBRATING CENTURION MEMBER GREG BLANK'S BIRTHDAY OPEN MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Hot early pace from My Only Weakness, Timeline and Analytic going hammer-and-tongs, with a few others keeping them honest. MY ONLY WEAKNESS (1) raced from a handy position over 1600m last time but found one too good on the day. She should be ideally suited to 1400m. She jumps from pole position and can go one better in this line-up. TIME IN PARIS (6) stayed on well when finishing fourth of 12 over 1250m on this course last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will like the rise to 1400m. Craig Zackey may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. SHEETS AND GOGGLES (13) resumes from a spell following a last start fifth over 1200m at Kenilworth. Fresh-up can make a winning return. WHITE WATERS (8) finished fifth last start at this track over 1600m. Comes here with definite place claims.
