GOING: S(7)

MIDWAY HANDICAP 1500m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.05)  

Expecting Danish Prince to take up the running with Hellfire Express and Convergent close at hand. CALLISTEMON (17) underrated mare who is well placed in this grade third up. Should get the right tempo here out in trip on the limit weight. Strong through the line when third over 1400m at this track. Jones retains the ride and has good each way prospects. DANISH PRINCE (11) best form is over this trip and clearly come back well. Will benefit again with McMurray's 3kg claim after finishing a game second over 1400m at this track. Will roll forward from the draw and give a ton of cheek. ENGINE ROOM (4) failed to make it three straight victories when hanging out throughout and disappointing as fav to run last over 1600m at Gosford. Kept up to the mark with a 1200m tick over trial and winning rider back aboard. Maps well. HELLFIRE EXPRESS (5) solid effort at second run back when a close up sixth over 1400m here. Fitter now and genuine winning prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Callistemon each way.
