GOING: S(5)

HAPPY RETIREMENT JOHN CRAMP MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 10)   Rail: +8m Entire, +10m 900m-350m, Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 5.14)  

Expecting Andhe's Brave to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. OFFENBACH (10) wasn't too far away in Stakes grade before the spell and he resumed as favourite at Newcastle, beaten 1.7L on a heavy track. He finished well back at Hawkesbury following (vet cleared) and prepared to forgive. Has a key gear switch, and the speed-bred gelding can get back on track. CLOUD OF DUST (2) may not have appreciated the going at Warwick Farm, but she missed a whisker on the Canberra poly prior. Peaks for this and Penza is reunited, replacing the 3kg apprentice. Quick improvement is anticipated. SWEET ABOUT ME (4) resumes for a local barn and will be better than the trial finish suggests. Keep her safe from the handy barrier. ANDHE'S BRAVE (8) was narrowly beaten here on debut racing forward. He's a chance with that under the saddle. SUGGESTED PLAY: Offenbach with the race fitness.
