GOING: H(9)

VINERY STUD COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 900m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m 800m-400m. True Remainder; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 6).  

Pace will be genuine with Equitable and Hot Chestnut locking horns in advance of Miss Rebel and Lula Ronica. EQUITABLE (1) started favourite but after showing pace to the bend tired late to finish midfield on debut over 1000m at Taree six months ago. Perfectly drawn and over this sharper trip he should be right in the finish. GIMME GIMME (12) returns from a 45-week absence. Kicked off the maiden campaign with a decent effort in stakes grade before finishing fourth to the highly regarded Erno's Cube over this trip at Newcastle at her only other run. Trialling in great fashion and has the quality to test her older rivals. SNITZENEGGER (3) ran a decent race on debut recently over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Open to plenty of improvement. SPEEDY ONE (10) won a recent trial here and is worth considering on debut for the local Luke Pepper stable. MISS REBEL (6) hasn't raced since November 2022. Has ability so watch the market carefully. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Equitable and taking the 1-12 quinella.
