GOING: S(5)

EMERALD FORD Class 1 Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Course.  

Cracking tempo with Eastcoast Hussler and Galath leading the way. SHEMAKESMENERVOUS (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 8 lengths away in tenth over 1300m at Mackay. Finds a more suitable assignment this time and can turn things around. GALATH (1) showed good early pace over 1000m at Longreach last time and kept going to score by 1.3 lengths. Will be high on confidence now and can find the winner's circle. VIKING TREASURE (9) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1000m at Tambo. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. ALL TOO VEGAS (5) resumes here but has a win and a second from four first-up attempts and may run a race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 8,1,9,5.

The race before that eased back early on 5th of 9 at Rockhampton 3yo Hcp on June 5 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Scialla carrying 55kg at $12. Is capable on her day and is not out of it from the inside alley.
