GOING: S

The Chilla Charlesworth Mdn 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 6m 1100m-W/Post. Out 3m Remainder.  

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large representation of first starters. SCHMEICHEL (6) has been competitive in some strong trials leading into this and looks well educated. Can easily make an big impact on debut. HEADSTOCK (7) is showing early potential with two strong results to date. Big threat up in trip after hitting the line hard in latest. CLOVIS (1) defied the market to deliver a very genuine debut run. Under similar conditions on home track stays under notice. BOY LOVES TO RUN (5) should scoot along on debut after some handy trial showings of late. Sweetly drawn and worth plenty of thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Schmeichel each-way.

Was as a despised roughie at debut, dwelt at start (2l) and eased near 600m; came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 12 at this track E&G Mdn on July 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Think About It carrying 56kg at $61. Encouraging effort on debut and another big run is on the cards.
