GOING: S(7)

AGNES MARSHALL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 900m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.80)  

Plenty of pace with Maktabi and Signatories up front, pressured by El Beatle and Capital Dancer. SIGNATORIES (3) demolished his rivals third up at Muswellbrook, before bumping into the classy Shropshire Lad when a fading thirteenth over 1100m at this track. Drop in trip suits in this easier contest. CAPITAL DANCER (1) underrated filly desperate for a firmer surface. Closed strongly from back in the pack when an eye catching fourth over 900m at Newcastle. Anywhere near her best can win this. LADY MEMPHIS (2) lightly raced Invader filly resuming for the Matt Smith yard. Ran second to Private Hary on debut, before winning over 1000m at Goulburn last November. Primed for this with two even trials in a winnable race. RANHITA (8) has a poor win record and assess on her good second over the 1000m at Quirindi three starts back. Minor money prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Signatories to bounce back.
