GOING: G(4)

WWW.ARMIDALEJOCKEY.CLUB MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Knock Me Out and Wokou matching motors with Parissident close at hand. KNOCK ME OUT (2) had his first run for the Osland stable last start and did a good job to be beaten under a length over 1000m at Muswellbrook after racing handy throughout. Has been gelded since that run thirty-two days ago. Draws the fence and looks the one. WENDOUREE (4) is the danger after an eye-catching second on debut last time out, coming from near the tail on the corner to get up for second over this distance at Coonabarabran. Should improve off that run which means he will be highly competitive again. The speedy WOKOU (9) led and tried hard before being beaten a length here at this trip recently. That was a big improvement, the second run since switching stables. Sure to give a great sight again. A LITTLE BIT IRISH (5) settled a long way back before getting up for fourth in a similar maiden here nine days ago. Her racing pattern makes it hard. Each-way. PARISSIDENT (8) wasn't far away last time when lining up for the first time since switching from Victoria. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knock Me Out to win.
