GOING: G(4)

A PLUS CONTRACTING & POLYWELDING MAIDEN HANDICAP 900m

Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large representation of unraced runners. INOUE (3) debuts off some high-class trial efforts of late with the most recent over a similar trip to this. Drawn to advantage with winning claims first up. IOWNA BENZ (7) has won her two most recent trials in smart fashion and should be positively ridden from the outset despite a wide draw. The testing material on debut. SHARPEN THE KNIVES (1) is well overdue a maiden win but has proven provincial form. Gets a few gear changes and still looms as a serious threat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inoue win.
