GOING: S(7)

ESSENTIAL ASSET & FIRE MIDWAY 3YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +4m 1100m - 450m, True remainder. (Pent: 5.70)  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these at the races for the first time. OUR LADY PEACE (6) is deep into her preparation and has her hoof on the till at start seven. Three weeks between runs when she savaged the line in the heavy going to finish a close-up second over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Can race a touch closer today and prove hard to hold out. TERRA LUMINA (7) is improving with racing and should be at his top for this from the good gate. Sat midfield and wasn't that far away with a tidy fourth over 900m at Newcastle. Finds a very weak contest and can figure prominently. CREATOR OF WORLD (1) talented gelding who drops in trip second-up. Resumed with a good trial win under the belt for a close-up second over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Should handle the conditions and close strongly. SPARE (2) looked to have the race won on debut when he loomed strongly only to be nailed on the line for a head second over 1100m at Bathurst. Further improved for this and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Our Lady Peace can shed her Maiden tag.
