GOING: S(5)

RAY SILBURN CLASS 1 AND MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Inagurate to take up the running with Carry On Lizzy and Divine Spark close at hand. TIMELESS GRACE (9) has been getting back in races and working home well. Left with too much to do when out of the placings over 1600m at Canberra last start. Crying out for this sort of trip - expect a much better run this afternoon. DIVINE SPARK (10) recorded her fifth minor placing from nine starts when a respectable third over 1600m at Wagga last time out. Blinkers come off for this step up in distance. A month between runs is the only query. ANLADIO (2) showed a glimpse of form at Canberra recently at the third run of the campaign. Backs up just nine days later and might be ready to show his best. WITHOUT FAIL (8) last appeared 53 days ago when down the track over 1500m at Caulfield Heath. Two trials since should keep him up to the mark. Big chance in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Timeless Grace each-way.
