MACAS MECHANICAL REPAIRS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True .  

Angelinthenightsky will stride forward but there are few first starters who can keep her busy. CASHAWAY GOLD (7) is a new arrival in the Angela Davies stable and is back from a ten-month spell. Ran well first-up at Gosford last prep before losing her way. Betting will hold the key but if she is forward enough this looks a nice race to kick off the campaign. JUSTICE WARRIOR (1) returns from a 169-day break and has been gelded. Opened last prep with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Placed three from five overall and might be the big improver. SIVO (3) last appeared when beaten two lengths over this distance at Grafton on 6 November. Opened the last prep with a placing here at this trip. Must be respected from the favourable draw. TOUCHATISM (6) was spelled after a poor debut over today's journey at Wyong in October. Won a recent Hawkesbury trial so might come up better this time. Kris Lees' first starter CHISATO (11) went okay in a recent Muswellbrook trial. Should go well with the help of an inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Cashaway Gold at the value.
