GOING: H(10)

MCCALLUMS GROUP MAIDEN 1200m

Track: HEAVY     True position  

The race pace here looks okay but no records will be getting broken for certain. ICE COLD GOLD (1) has been eight times placed and two of those have come right here. On pacer. Win chance in this field for sure. POMALO (9) has had three runs here for two placings. Well drawn. Handles it dry and wet. Also has been eight times placed in total. Top tier must for bettors. THE BLUE DIAMOND (13) is an improver here on her debut and can counter wide gate. Rain-affected footing should pose no problems whatsoever. Win threat. STU DARCI (3) he has been twice placed and one of those came second up. Place and first four chance. Can swim. ARCHIE GUY (2) is an improver on his last start fourth. Bred to win more than once. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Blue Diamond is a win wager.
