TAB SHOWCASE 3YO&UP SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Fiorsum Fred and Samita to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. GOTTA FLY (5) two runs back have been full of merit and looks set to peak today. Strong through the line when fourth over 1100m at Scone on April 16. Gets the right tempo to finish over the top of these. FIORSUM FRED (1) Fiorente gelding returning from a four-and-a-half-month spell. Placed on debut two back before tiring late when sixth over 1300m at Scone on December 19. Since fitted with a strong recent 1000m trial win at Scone. Looks primed for a first-up win. SUNYANI (12) resuming after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Came from last on the turn when a courageous second over the 1100m at Scone on January 21. Showed her fitness when a solid 1000m trial winner at Scone on April 17. Looks to have come back well. SISTER JOSEPHINE (11) hard fit for this and recent efforts have been satisfactory. Had no luck from the wide gate when third over 1000m at Tamworth on April 8. Can hold a forward position here and figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,12,11.
