GOING: H(9)

Winter Blues at the Races 24th July Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: HEAVY 9   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 6.15)  

Bidu to take up the running with Galagacisco and Zenith Esprit close at hand. REIGN CAPITAL (4) found the line nicely last start when runner-up over 1400m at Werribee. Backmarker who gets home hard. Progressive type who strips fitter and is a leading chance. WRITTEN ORDER (7) is a gelding by Written By making debut and is not only well educated but has won all four jump-outs, the latest at Wodonga. Looks set for a big debut showing. TUXEDO MISS (13) did her best work late and finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1107m at Kilmore. Close to a win and gets her chance. SPARKLING AWARD (12) is a four-start maiden who is mixing form a little but has shown ability and seemingly has handled the conditions. Should be running on hard. WHO'S WHO (6) is a gelding by North Pacific from Zoofari on debut. Showing ability in the trials and should hit the ground running. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Reign Capital.
