GOING: H(10)

bet365 Jack Maher Classic 1204m

Track:   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 3m 1800m - 300m, True Remainder.  

Good speed anticipated with a large representation of first starters lining up. UNA GENTLE (7) is free running and brings narrow defeats from Mornington and Sale on heavy tracks. Fitter again and has a 2kg claim and the blinkers are applied for the first time. Rates to be winning. DEEKAYGEEBEE (1) resumes and raced well in Open 2s in his initial preparation. Has a 2kg claimer booked and has won a Wangaratta jumpout. With natural improvement,she can make the finish. TEMPT THE GODS (2) missed a whisker first up and was backed off the map when comfortably winning a Bordertown Maiden on a heavy track following. Uses the low barrier and he can't be underestimated. TESSARION (6) ran a good number winning a Wagga Maiden and is a hope building on that. BIG STAR (9) will improve second up and this is easier than Bendigo. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Una Gentle.
