GOING: G(4)

CORRECTION 1954 NORTHAM CUP WINNER MAIDEN 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.30)  

Moderate tempo headed by Bringithomealabama. QUEEN ARIA (7) has placed her last two here over this distance, and that's good form. Maps well today, and the gun hoop sticks aboard. She can break through for a leading yard. AHH CHOUX (9) resumed over 1400m at Northam and wasn't beaten far. Draws inside today, and the mile is within her reach. PUDDIN 'N' PIE (8) just missed at Northam two back and the 3kg claim remains handy. She's better suited today and will be around the mark with average luck in transit. TOBIAN (3) has threatened his last two at Bunbury and Scarpside. Comes back to a sprint on a 7-day return, and he can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Queen Aria.

Three-year-old gelding (Xtravagant - Morning Mist) will no doubt benefit from the four trials leading in today's debut. Seventh over 1000m in a Belmont Park trial on June 9. Likely to struggle on what we have seen.
