GOING: S(5)

HOLIDAY COAST MEATS CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1006m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Hidden Trust, Bethsheba and Mofeed will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Dizzy Dee and Star Ambition. BEYOND MY KEN (5) finally drawn a good gated third up and ready to salute with a host of gear changes. Covered plenty of ground in before fading late when seventh to Solitario over 1200m at Scone. Senior rider booked and will prove hard to hold out. ANOTHER WISH (15) trained locally and primed for this deep into his prep. Blinkers go on after failing to see the 1415m out when sixth at Coffs Harbour. Best form is over this trip and will be attacking the line late. STAR AMBITION (2) underrated gelding resuming with a handy fresh record. Lone victory came at this trip and will figure prominently with the two excellent trial wins. MOFEED (4) returned from a lengthy break with a commanding on pace win over 1000m at Scone. Ash Morgan sticks and can go on with the job. BETHSHEBA (8) is at her peak for this and not to be overlooked from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beyond My Ken and Another Wish to slog it out.
