GOING: S(5)

SOUTH PACIFIC ROOF TRUSSES SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Sigma leading the way. COSMIC AVENGER (7) put forward a career best showing last start, suggesting the extra furlong here is ideal. After the claim carries a winning weight staying at provincial level. Back onto a firmer deck may help his chances and he looks a leading player on his latest performance. SIGMA (2) gets to a mile fourth up and has shown improvement at each start. Out of the G1 winning mare Princess Coup who got out over a trip herself, the rise to the mile looks ideal for him as he continues to improve. Expecting a bold effort. JAGERBOMB (4) gives the impression a mile suits after grinding home in his past two starts. With the shades applied the future looks bright. POUR BENN (1) was fair on debut at this track and should get a drier track this time. In the mix again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Avenger win.
