GOING: S(7)

HUNTER THOROUGHBRED BREEDERS ASSOC. MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m 1200m-300m; Cutaway Applies; True Remainder.  

Plenty of pace with Demandingsarah and Sapphire Kiss leading. UMABETT (6) Better Than Ready filly resuming from a lengthy break after finishing sixth in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at Randwick over 1000m on September 30. Further matured now and had two trials in readiness for this. Gets her chance in this easier class with the claim. MY MATE COBBER (12) resumed with an encouraging third over 900m at Newcastle on May 25. Fitter now and has an okay record over this track and trip. SAPPHIRE KISS (3) near her top now and a win looks imminent. Sat on the speed and showed plenty of fight when fourth over 1200m at Wyong on June 6. Must be kept safe on the quick turnaround. PHAZED (5) fitter after two runs for the Neasham yard and back in trip for this after running seventh in a 1300m contest at Hawkesbury on May 30. Can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,12,3,5.
