GOING: G(4)

ENDEAVOUR MEATS SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1280m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +3.5m 500m-300m Cutaway Applies.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Vicious Rumour heading them off. NORTHERN EAGLE (5) third up for this and no excuses in this company. Just under a month between runs when a disappointing fifth over 1300m at Goulburn. Assess on his good first-up fourth at Wyong. Expected to bounce back. STILL EXCITED (7) two career runs on the provincial circuit have been satisfactory and looks well placed today from the good gate. Brave effort in the heavy conditions when a narrow fourth over 1250m at Newcastle. Backs up quickly and has solid top three claims. JULIET BRAVO (11) has an okay record over this track and trip and finally drawn a decent gate. Speared across from the wide gate when a tenacious second over 1300m at this track. Value prospect. JOLLY GOOD FELLOW (1) fitter now after resuming with a sound fifth over 1300m at Warwick Farm. Placed second up and has solid claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Northern Eagle to win.
