GOING: H(10)

AGRANA FRUIT AUSTRALIA PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1350m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Keen battle for the lead with Daisuki, Run The Red Light and What A Gent in advance of Incantress and Share The Joy. SHARE THE JOY (11) added to her long list of minor placings when fresh from an 18-week spell last start, leading for home before finding one better at the end of 1300m at Hawkesbury. Should be in the firing line again and with that run under the belt might be tough to catch. ELEGANT FORCE (6) was friendless in betting on debut recently over 1200m at this track but did a good job to work home into fourth spot in soft going. Nicely placed over the longer trip today and the blinkers go on. Is going to be hard to hold out. INCANTRESS (7) made it three minor placings on the trot when she closed well but was no match for the winner last time out over 1300m at this circuit. Putting it together finally and cannot be underestimated. WHAT A GENT (3) was easily accounted for first-up at Grafton but will strip fitter and he won't mind the softer going. RIDGEBACK (1) is a first starter by All Too Hard from former smart filly Roedean. Keep an eye on the betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Share The Joy to collect an overdue win.
