GOING: S(5)

HRC MOTEL 3YO MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.40)  

Strong tempo with Highwire Flyer and El Qasabi leading the way over The Way Ahead. CELERITY (5) massive class drop today after going under narrowly when second over 1100m at Warwick Farm in a Super Maiden. Fitter now and brings superior ratings here. ALL SAINTS (3) heavily supported on debut when a fighting nose second to Ghielmi over 1000m at Kembla Grange last February. Fitted with a sharp 800m trial win and has each-way prospects. DORALEE (6) hard fit for this and will relish the firmer surface. Faded late when sixth over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Capable of better on the quick backup. THE WAY AHEAD (9) fifth up today and has to improve further after chipping away late when fourth over 1000m at Goulburn. Winkers come off and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Celerity to stamp her class.

Second-up.

Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at this track F&M Mdn-Sw on September 12 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Gangsta Granny with 55.5kg at $1.60. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.
