GOING: G(4)

BEER CARPENTER RACING PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: +7m 1100m-W/Post, +5m Remainder.  

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Bush Girl and Tod. CHANNELLING (4) is deep into her prep and has a distinct fitness edge over these. Back in grade after coming out of a strong rating contest when a tough on-pace fifth to The Mona Lisa over 1500m at Rosehill. Will roll forward in a race devoid of speed and prove too good for these. PRO VELOCITY (5) solid Maiden victory two-back, before she copped a bump on jumping when a disappointing fifth over 1600m at Gosford. Can tag the speed with senior rider engaged. Shapes as the main danger. BUSH GIRL (6) scored a well-deserved Maiden win first-up, before racing a little flat when a plugging fifth over 1500m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Place claims look best today. PLAYFUL PUZZLE (7) came from near last on the turn when she resumed with a slashing second over 1400m at Gundagai. Kept up to the mark with a soft 800m trial at this course. Gets map favours and don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Channelling can assert her class.
