GOING: S(7)

PETER PAYTEN MEMORIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1205m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m from 800m to winning post.  

Solid tempo with Corio Willow possessing enough dash to find the front. MASKED VISION (2) working towards a win at his fifth race start. Closed off well in the heavy (10) going with a respectable third over 1200m at Nowra. That form looks good enough to take this out. ROCKABYE ROXY (11) back for her third campaign and wasn't pushed out when sixth in her latest trial over 900m on the Acton track at Canberra. Now in the Keith Dryden & Libby Snowden yard and looks well placed in this easier company. Keep safe. SETTA ICON (3) comes here in peak condition but must overcome a wide gate. Sat on the good speed and held on gamely to finish third over 1200m at Moruya. Placed over this track and trip three-back and expected to go well. FAERYWOOD (7) resumes and now in the Anita Walder stable. Well placed for this and should handle the conditions. SUGGESTED PLAY: Masked Vision has solid claims.
