GOING: H(10)

NOVA COAST SERVICES 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 5m 800m-400m. Out 3m Remainder; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 6.2).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Vivezza. VIVEZZA (1) no excuses today fourth-up in this easier contest. Sat off the speed before launching late when a close second over 1550m at Canterbury on June 19. Maps to get the right run and should prove too good for these. BUFFETT (2) improving with racing and finally draws a low gate. Appreciated the rise in trip when a solid second over 1600m at Wyong on June 13. Can go on with the job in this easier affair. LOST ILLUSIONS (7) made up many lengthy late when returning for second prep when fourth over 1280m at Muswellbrook on June 17. Ready for this trip but bumps into some handy prospects. FIRE ISLAND (4) had mixed luck in two career runs and should find this easier on a firmer track. Failed to get into the contest when a dismal seventh over 1500m at Hawkesbury on June 18. Should appreciate the roomier Scone track and expecting more here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vivezza to win.
