GOING: N

Kevin Sharkie Class 1 Handicap 1009m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Stars In The Night and Thoros Of Myr to lead the way over Hypercube and Positive Press. THOROS OF MYR (1) resumes and is another decent hope for the Trinder yard. Has raced well in stronger and has trialled well for the return. Has the rail and can get back on track. BLUFF POINT (2) led first-up and was an easy Maiden winner here first-up as expected. The former Victorian has more to offer. Fitter looks capable of taking the next step. STARS IN THE NIGHT (9) is a leader who is up to this if presented forward. Is still a Maiden but carries a feather and can control the race from the low barrier. Has won a trial here leading into this. SWOOPING EAGLE (4) won a Maiden at Hobart two back and has placed her only run here. Has been freshened and winning rider Newitt is reunited. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thoros Of Myr if the betting suggests stable confidence.
