GOING: H(8)

HRC MOTEL PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT7   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder . (Pent: 5.73)  

Genuine tempo with Jared and Stonegate Lane up front. JARED (5) used up early from the awkward gate to hold a forward position before disappointing to run seventh over 1400m at Kembla Grange. Races well at this course and the blinkers come off from the better draw. Expected to bounce back. BELLA KHADIJAH (1) talented filly who was outclassed in the G2 Tea Rose last September. Given a solid break and fitted with the two searching trials. Leading rider engaged and sure to be strong late on her home track. JOHNNY SMASH (3) deep into his prep now and kept fresh after disappointing when fifth over 1600m at Goulburn. Will appreciate the claim and drop in trip. CAELUS (2) trained on the track and his latest on pace maiden victory here had merit. Gets the claim again from the low draw. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jared and Bella Khadijah to fight it out.
