GOING: H(10)

MACARTHUR REAL ESTATE AGENCY CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Not seeing a great deal of early speed. Solid race with some progressive types. PRIDE OF JEZZA (5) finally put it all together at start ten when coming from well back for a comprehensive victory over 1400m. Bred to get further and will relish the conditions again. FLUTTERBY (6) is holding her form well and doesn't have to improve much to take this out. Will appreciate the extra journey and maps to get the right run after motoring late when second over 1600m at Albury. Top three player. DARKEN (4) bounced off his good third at Canberra two back, with a gritty maiden victory over 1660m at Moruya. Martin's claim helps again and can measure up here. CAYMAN ISLAND (9) is fifth up now and racing like he will get the trip. Given the gun run but just lacked the necessary sprint over the closing stages when second over 1400m at Albury. Nose roll goes on and is capable of taking this out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pride Of Jezza in a slogging contest.
