GOING: H(8)

DE BORTOLI WINES CLASS 1 & MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 2000m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo headed by Wicked Games and In Iso. EVERLASTING KISS (6) worked home well but was never a threat when resuming from a spell for a new stable in a Class 1 over 1850m at Newcastle last start. Won over 2400m in Victoria last prep so this trip is ideal second-up. Down in grade and looks the testing material. BRIEF SONG (5) was ridden closer to the pace and battled on well for third last time out over 2200m at Scone. Very fit after three runs back from a spell and looks ready to win. LE SOUCI (7) comes here off a maiden win in a Class 1 at Canberra three weeks back. Goes up sharply in weight but still a contender. IN ISO (1) edged out Brief Song for second place at Scone two back. Chance if he rediscovers that form. WICKED GAMES (4) absolutely bolted in at Kempsey last start. Yet to fill a placing in five runs at Taree which is the query. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Everlasting Kiss.

Most recently second last of 8 at Kempsey Cl1-Sw on October 8 over 1900m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Wicked Games carrying 59kg at $4. The start before that 2nd of 7 at Scone Bm66(62) on September 27 over 2200m, in the wet; long-neck behind Alpine Kandy with 57kg at $9. Good enough to make amends.

Second run back. First-up after three months 5th of 10 at Newcastle Cl1-Sw on September 20 over 1850m, 4 len behind Kosuke with 57kg at $9.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 14 over 1856m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Early Warning carrying 57kg at $1.50. Better for that outing and looks hard to beat in this easier contest.
