GOING: G(4)

GATESHEAD TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Tautou and Jupiter Hills matching motors. JUPITER HILLS (10) appreciated the step up in distance and produced the best run of her three to date when a game third after leading over this trip at Hawkesbury last start. Expect the stablemate will not pester her in front so she should dictate and take plenty of catching. WEXFORD MISS (6) closed well to grab second over this course and distance two back then struggled in town last time over more ground. Back in her right race today and from gate one gets all the favours. MY PHAR LADY (11) was lining up for just the second time when a respectable third over this distance at Canberra recently. Open to plenty of improvement so worth some thought despite taking on a better field today. PESCHIERA (4) comes here with a couple of minor placings at Canterbury from her two runs this prep. Big weight to shoulder but that city form reads well. EXTREME DIVA (1) has contested four stakes races, finishing third to Manaal last prep in the Sweet Embrace. Big chance in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Jupiter Hills.

Group 2 placegetter. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 2nd of 7 at this track Super 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 15 over 900m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Runranirun with 55kg at $1.40. Second run from a spell ran last of 7 at Rosehill in the G3 S Domenico on August 31 over 1100m, 7 len behind Storm Boy carrying 53kg at $81. Huge drop in grade so she is expected to bounce back to form.
