GOING: N

Goodstone Group Class 1 Handicap 1009m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Expecting Simply Deep to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. SIMPLY DEEP (1) won three trials and then led and delivered his Maiden here on debut. Draws low again and keeps a 1.5kg claim. Strips fitter, and he can take the next step. HIGHLAND DUEL (2) resumed here in stronger, heavily bet and was plain. His form at the back of his last preparation more than stacks up, and with a claimer aboard, deserves another chance. OHSHE'STROUBLE (3) resumes for the new yard, owning a 6.5L Longford trial win. She has the rail, and the former Victorian is proven fresh. Has to be considered. PLATINUM REGGAE (6) has been freshened off her easy Maiden win here and drawn to advantage, will be in it for a long way. SAY IT WITH WORDS (4) resumes with a 2kg claim, and he's trialled well here. Minor hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Simply Deep.
