GOING: H(8)

LITTLE GONG BEER GARDEN F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Little in the way of tactical speed so a moderate tempo is likely. WEXFORD MISS (1) has delivered three competitive runs of late, all around this distance range. Rock-hard fit and the wide draw is the only knock. With even luck can break through in what looks a winnable assignment weekended by scratchings. APPARATE (10) has been close up in both outings since a spell, beaten less than 2L when she resumed here two back. Draws well and can make an impact. DAME COMMANDER (7) is a daughter of So You Think on debut for Bjorn Baker. Has shown enough at the trials to be competitive. AUDENZIA (2) has been readied for the return with two trials, winning the latest. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wexford Miss win.
