GOING: S(6)

MAURICE AT ARROWFIELD PLATE 1550m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.54)  

Expecting Zamazing to take up the running with Dwayne and Righteous Legend close at hand. This is more like a provincial maiden than city class. DWAYNE (1) is deep into his maiden campaign and won't get a better chance to break through. Encountered a very heavy track at Goulburn last start and was eased out of the race after dipping badly a couple of times. Form before that was solid - the fact that stable is persevering is a positive sign that all is well. RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (2) has been about the mark at all three runs this time in work. Struggled to quicken as required over 1300m at Kembla last time which suggested he needs more ground which he gets today. Should be ready to peak. CANTARITO (6) battled on evenly to finish fourth when resuming over 1300m at Warwick Farm recently. Nicely placed over the extra ground this time so worth following. PIERRO'S GIRL (7) finished just ahead of Cantarito when resuming at the Farm a fortnight ago. Won't spend a cent from the inside draw and should be competitive again. SLEUTH (3) can also improve at the second run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dwayne to break through.
