GOING: S(5)

CARLTON CLASS SHOWCASE CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Need A Miracle and Tudor Cathedrals have the speed to get across from the wide gates. IMAGE OF THE SUN (12) progressive filly who looks set for a good prep. Motored late on resumption with an eye-catching fourth over 1300m at Scone on June 11. Comes to hand quickly and undefeated second-up. Will prove tough to hold out from the inside gate. ROCKBARTON ICON (9) brings good numbers here and has a fitness edge over the leading chances. Stalked the speed from the wide gate when a fighting fourth over 1700m at Scone on June 11. Undefeated this track and trip and sure to be strong late. TIDLER'S WISH (11) relished the jump in trip and conditions when a fast finishing second over 1615m at Coffs Harbour on June 14. Racing in career-best form and the 2kg claim is a bonus. SHE'S GOT TEETH (13) got off the mark at start 10 as fav when a commanding 1.5 len victory over 1450m at Kempsey on June 20. Confidence is high and the extra trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Image Of The Sun to win.
