GOING: S(7)

TECNIX REFRIGERATION & AIR CONDITIONING 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1210m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Anticipate Smashing Nova, Cassie's Angel and Legacy Prevailed to set a strong tempo. SMASHING NOVA (4) handy gelding resuming. Ran some encouraging races last prep and looks ready to go with the two searching trials. Will push forward from the gate and prove hard to get past. ELSKA (6) has shown ability in her two runs on the provincial circuit and shapes as the main danger in this easier contest. Held a forward position and found them too sharp when sixth over 900m at Newcastle in a Super Maiden. Top-three player. HABIB ALBI (2) resumes and now in the Aiden St Vincent yard. Kept safe in betting on debut before fading to finish last of six over 1000m at Hawkesbury last February. Ran sixth in a trial over 1000m at Port Macquarie. Expecting a bright start for the new yard. NIKODY'S CASPER (10) drops sharply in weight with the claim and can turn things around quickly on the back-up. Chipped away late with the 59kg when fifth over 1250m at Taree on the heavy surface. Value contender. ANTONUCCI (5) Farnan filly resuming and now in the Aiden St Vincent stable. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Smashing Nova finds a winnable contest.
