GOING: S(5)

ST JOHNS PARK BOWLING CLUB MAIDEN HANDICAP 1800m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.40)  

Looks a keen contest with Belgrano and Reverberates pressing for the lead with Khant Fail and Pharoah Queen close at hand. Tricky contest with plenty of chances. BLACK BUGATTI (5) covered plenty of ground in the run and didn't have much left in the tank when a fading seventh over 2000m at Kembla Grange. Desperate for the firmer track and the in-form Ash Morgan rides. Best form is good enough for this. LUCKY STAR (8) thereabouts of late and due for a change of luck. Came out positively from the wide draw when gripping on late to run third over 1900m at Canberra Acton. Back to his home course and gets map favours. MAIRE DE PARIS (9) was never comfortable in the heavy going when a plugging fifth over 1600m at Gosford. Senior rider on and can play a leading role on the firmer surface. BELGRANO (4) given a more positive ride third up when a game fifth over 1600m at Wyong. Gets a better run here and proven at the trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,8,9,4.
