GOING: G

CFC NIZA THE MESSIAH 3 ON THE TROT 1987 Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.31)  

Wollemia Angel to take charge ahead of Amberina at a strong tempo. Valuable maiden and they've come from everywhere to be here. MOCKRIDGE (4) has a few decent runs on the board, and looks to have the right form to give this a serious shake including a 2.5 len 6th at Geelong earlier this month. Strong piece of form and strong enough to get the nod here in a race with plenty of chances. SKY DEEL (18) showed speed on debut against the two-year-olds and looks a handy chance second-up. WOLLEMIA ANGEL (13) threw the rider off last time after a promising resuming effort. Worth another chance in this. FOUR CANDLES (2) shapes up as the best of the debutants from this very astute yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very hard to settle on one, so let's go wide in a boxed quinella with 4,18,13 and 2.

Dual acceptor. Second run back. First-up after nine months got back early 7th of 11 at Ballarat Synthetic Mdn-Sw on May 22 over 1200m, 10 len behind Spirited Defence with 59.5kg at $26. Previously second-up second last of 11 at Hamilton Mdn-Sw on September 16 over 1600m, in the wet; 7 len behind Designs Of Eight carrying 59.5kg at $4. Suspect he's capable of more than what we've seen, one for multiples.
