GOING: H(10)

CLUB TERRIGAL PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1350m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Irish Bliss to dictate at a solid tempo. BLACK TIARA (9) disappointed as fav here last start when shuffled back from the soft draw to finish sixth over this track and trip on April 11. Has fitness on her side today and no shock to see her bounce back here. IRISH BLISS (4) lightly raced gelding who made an encouraging return when showed good early speed to hold on and secure second over 1300m at Kembla Grange on April 20. Gets in light again with the claim and strips fitter now. BERTIE (8) trained on the track and fitter after two runs back. Should keep improving as he steps up in trip and can add value to the exotics. SMART SERENADE (5) unwanted in betting on debut when an encouraging fourth over 1250m at Taree on April 2. Fitter now and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Black Tiara to win.
