GOING: S(7)

RIDLEY WOOL CO CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +6m 1400m-W/Post, +3m Remainder.  

Expect a strong tempo from Perfume River, Bubbling and Divine Conclusion who may have no option but to press on. DESERT OPAL (5) rewarded for his consistency at start eleven when stalking the speed and getting over them late over 1400m at Albury. Proven at the trip and kept up to the mark with a 900m tick over trial. Finds a winnable race again from the good gate. DOC MARCH (11) massive run from the wide gate when taking good ground off Astern Torch to run fourth over 1600m at this track. Hard fit and will relish a stronger tempo. SHEBRINGS BEAUTY (14) has found a bit of form at her last two outings and can shed her maiden status at start twenty. Kept finding on the line when second over 1600m here. Drops further in weight from the low draw. ASTERN TORCH (1) confidence is high now after getting off the mark at this track and trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Desert Opal can win again from the draw.
