GOING: S(5)

HRC MOTEL SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True . (Pent: 5.40)  

Amarillo Sky has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Godolphin's COULTER (1) resumes for Bjorn Baker. Had one run for James Cummings in May and was beaten under two lengths by Planet Red over 1200m at Pakenham. Two recent trials should have him forward enough to make a positive return. AMARILLO SKY (2) was in the market on debut last October over 1400m at Kembla but was disappointing. Has not raced since but has been gelded and won a recent trial here in good style. Should be in for a better campaign. AUDITORY (3) has not raced since striking a heavy track and finishing fifth of five on debut at Newcastle in June. Now a gelding and on a firmer deck today can show what he is made of. DANCE WITH DESTINY (7) is back from a seven-month spell. Didn't do much in the maiden prep but the addition of blinkers may have an effect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Coulter to win.
