GOING: S(5)

BOB PAYTON MEMORIAL JUNIOR CHALLENGE MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +7m 800m-400m, +5m Remainder.  

Despite the small field Farset, Another Peach and Miss Riot Rose can set a strong tempo. FARSET (7) can go on with the job here after gripping on late when resuming with a narrow second over 1000m at Goulburn. Looks too good for these over the 1100m. ANOTHER PEACH (4) resumes after showing rapid improvement last time in when placing in the minor money on three occasions. Not asked to do much in a 1000m trial and drawn to stalk the speed. Top three prospect. DUNLEARY (2) Dundeel gelding from Simply Carina on debut for the Angela Davies yard. Can clearly gallop judging by his three good trials. Big market watch. INITIATE (5) is a three-start maiden who finished fifth when resuming from a spell last start over 900m at Newcastle. Should progress from that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Farset to take holding out.

Three-year-old gelding (Dundeel - Simply Carina) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut. Was second in a 800m barrier trial on June 2 at Beaumont (Newcastle). Capable of taking a hand in the finish.
