GOING: H(8)

TOOHEYS MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m 1200m-350m. Cutaway Applies.  

Plenty of early pace from Hillbilly Pickin', Jennio's Filly and More Voltage primarily. TAIPAN LEGEND (7) looks ready to win fifth-up after sitting on the pace for a gritty close-up fourth over 1400m at Newcastle on April 24. This looks much easier and will take holding out. JAWHARAT DUBAI (9) Neasham-trained filly due for a change of luck. Finished in the minor money again when powered late to finish second over 1500m at Kembla Grange on April 20. Can race closer from the draw and go close. MORE VOLTAGE (5) on the quick back-up when jumped in trip for a fading sixth over 1600m at Hawkesbury on April 18. A repeat of his runs two and three back can see him take a hand in the finish. SHARE THE JOY (11) total forgive from the wide gate when a plugging seventh over 1350m at Wyong on April 11. Well drawn and sharp improvement is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taipan Legend and Jawharat Dubai to fight out the finish.
