GOING: S(7)

MCGARRY EQUINE VETERINARY SERVICES Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +12m Entire. (Pent: 6.82)  

Moderate tempo expected with Lucifer's Way likely to find the front over Atomic Gozen and Raging. LUCIFER'S WAY (3) has been heavily supported in both starts to date but has just run into one or two better. This is not an overly strong affair and where there's smoke there's fire - and there would surely be fire down Lucifer's Way... Looks the testing material against this line-up. The well-related RAGING (6) (half to G3 winner and 2xG2 placed She Shao Fly) gets 3kg weight relief with the claim and only needs some luck from the wide draw to play a role in the finish. Race drops away behind that pair. ATOMIC GOZEN (10) might be one to improve this time for the good yard. Trials have been okay. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lucifer's Way to break through.

Form hard to fault. Last start sat on the pace when 2nd of 12 at Casino Super Mdn-Sw on May 30 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 3 len behind Champonnet carrying 59kg at $1.75. Before that 2nd in a small field at Sunshine Coast Poly Mdn-Sw on May 11 over 1100m, nose behind Miss Mercy carrying 58kg at $2. Rates highly. Form sound and he will prove hard to beat.
