GOING: S(5)

SKY RACING 4YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Hot pace certain with Lady Capitalist, Borderfall and Mariana Miss keen to take up the running. BORDERFALL (1) resumes after he made a sound debut with a fighting second over 1200m at Scone last November. Fitted with the two trials and can get the better of these with the 59kg. CHOOSY (6) Ole Kirk mare resuming. Kept safe in betting on debut with a tiring sixth over 1150m at Beaumont (Newcastle) last February. Fitted with the two trials and the cross-over nose band goes on. Will appreciate the claim from the inside gate. MARIANA MISS (11) resumes after she failed to come up in two starts in her first prep. Looks to have strengthened over the break and has a host of gear changes for this. Keep safe. USAIN BOSS (14) yet to fire in five career starts and returns from a lengthy spell. Has shown ability in the two trials and stays in the mix from the low draw. SUPA ZENARDINI (13) drops in weight with the claim and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Borderfall can get the better of this average bunch.
