SNAP PRINTING WOLLONGONG 3YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Setta Icon to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. YESZEM (9) showed a ton of grit first-up when never on the track for a game third over 1200m at Gosford. Clearly come back well and can get the job done from the low draw. Go close. COOL RUPERT (1) returns from a lengthy break after finishing in the minor money at all three career runs. Placed twice at this track and shouldn't be a Maiden for long with the two trials. BELLO CAVALLO (2) raced without luck in all four career starts and resumes today. Gets the right set-up here and showed enough in his two trials. Solid top-three player. SETTA ICON (6) deep into the campaign and indicated a win was imminent with a fast finishing second over 1205m at the Sapphire Coast. Well drawn and expected to go close. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yeszem can race closer from the good gate, hard to hold out.
