GOING: H(9)

CONWAY PRINTING MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +3.5m Entire.  

Strong tempo from The Third Wish, One Special Girl and Lunar Mojo. The Third Wish, One Special Girl and Lunar Mojo can set a strong tempo. CRYING COUGAR (1) was at cricket score odds on debut last start over 900m at Corowa but defied the market by charging home into second place. Should relish the extra 100m so with that run under the belt he appeals as the horse to beat. DONEGAL BAY (2) has been in the money at all three runs this time in work, the latest offering an eye-catching second over 900m at this track when he gave away a big start. Very fit and this looks the perfect assignment. TRUST IN CHAD (7) finished under two lengths from the winner on debut at Wodonga last start despite a lack of market confidence. Better for that run and should be competitive again. LUNAR MOJO (4) continues to race well without winning. Freshened up to come back in trip today. The wide gate is the only concern. FINAL CRACK (3) has placed at three of his four runs here. Ready to improve second-up from a long lay-off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crying Cougar to win.
