RAY HILDRED Maiden Handicap 1200m Track: SOFT 6 Rail: True. (Pent: 6.09). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine pace with Happy Rainbow taking up the running ahead of Just Never Enough and Hollywood Epic. HOLLYWOOD EPIC (1) is unlucky to still be a maiden with two runner-up finishes to start the career and this is not an overly strong affair. Guthmann-Chester sticks in the irons and looks nicely placed to break the maiden status here. The well-related WHATTA WHITT (12) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Lovemelikearock) strips fitter third-up from the spell, draws low and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. POW NOW (8) disappointed first-up but go on the solid second before the spell. Can bounce right back to form now. A SIP FOR SLIPPY (7) should appreciate the step-up to 1200m and may trouble the judge from the favourable draw. JUST NEVER ENOUGH (9) next in line in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hollywood Epic to break through.
