GOING: H

Gawler Arms Hotel Three-Year-Old Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +3m 1400m-1200m incl1500 chute, +6m 1200m-800m, +7m 800m-400m, +5m 400m-W/Post, True Remainder. (Pent: 6.96)  

Just a moderate tempo without an obvious speed influence. Tricky race for several of these on debut or first-up for a new stable. BELLE FROM HELL (6) lines up fresh, having run OK over the border last start. She draws low here and can get the right run, although she is untested on rain-affected going. Her best looks good enough to handle most of these. NOW EAST (4) ran a cheeky race behind a couple of handy types first-up and the form has stood up since. He handles the conditions and there will almost certainly be fitness improvement there second-up. There has been merit in both career runs from SHE'S THE RUMOUR (9), including last start where she stuck on OK. Don't forget about FAST TEMPO (1) and IT'S ONLY MAGIC (3). SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle From Hell looks an each-way bet.
