GOING: S(5)

DEAN MILLS PLUMBING MAIDEN HANDICAP 1250m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. RAGUEL (7) excellent return when he ran on late to finish a solid third over 1006m at Port Macquarie from a wide barrier. Looking for this trip now and expected to go close. PARKER'S PARADISE (5) finds an easier race with the key jockey change at her fifth career start. Failed to sprint with them when fifth over 1206m at Port Macquarie. Among the leading chances in this easier contest. MAY THE FORCE (14) huge return at the big odds ($91), when she sat on the speed for a narrow third over 1300m at Scone. Fitter now and has the speed to get over from the wide gate. Each way. KONOMIE (3) chipped away late in the small field first-up when third over 1100m at Goulburn. Finds a winnable contest over the extra trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,14,3.
