GOING: S(5)

Foot & Playsted Maiden 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 4.58)  

Expecting Copper Reign to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. LIN THIZZY (3) wound up strongly fresh and was beaten a length in a nice return. Fitter and looks hard to hold out with a repeat of that run. ROLAND VIEW (5) has been close to the winner the last few starts, the latest a fourth at Devonport on the synthetic. Overdue and among the leading chances. MISS STRAT (4) gave a sight last run before a break when hitting the frame. Fitter for two trials and will take running down if on song. TOORAK LAD (2) is back from a long spell and returns for a new yard. Has had a few trials and will be winding up late. POPSY DOODLE (10) is a filly by Stratosphere making her first appearance. Well educated with several trials, the latest fifth at Longford over 800m on August 25. Looks set for a bold opening. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Lin Thizzy.
