GOING: S(5)

CLEAVERS TYRES MAIDEN PLATE 1007m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Debutantes look to hold the key to the race. DIJON AUTRE (2) four-year-old gelding by Magna Garcia from a Snitzel mare on debut for the Jake Hull yard. Has won with plenty up the sleeve in both trials and no surprise to see him stamp his authority. ARGYROS (1) Luke Thomas trained gelding by Dárgento from Pure Intentions facing the starter for the first time. Undefeated in three trials and gets his chance from the good gate with Penza aboard. Solid top three prospect. THE SIMPLE LIFE (7) deep into the prep and gets a more economical run from the inside gate. Motored late from the outside gate when second over 1000m at Tuncurry in the heavy (8) going. NOVAYA (5) nicely bred mare by sire Russian Revolution from the stakes-winning mare Vanilla Gold on debut. Ran fourth at recent trial. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dijon Autre to cut the mustard.

Third-up today. First-up failed to make an impression; second last of 10 at Grafton Mdn on September 9 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Celebrity Torque carrying 56kg at $101. Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Coffs Harbour Super Mdn on September 14 over 1012m, slow going 6 len behind Magnolia Jewel with 55kg at $101. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at Scone Mdn on August 25 over 1000m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Raw Gold carrying 55kg at $4. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 8 at Wellington Mdn on July 29 over 1100m, on heavy track; 1.4 len behind The Git Up carrying 55kg at $6.50. Capable of sharp improvement.

Gelding by Supido facing the starter for the first time. Trialled on September 14 at Coffs Harbour over 805m and finished sixth. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others.
