GOING: S(5)

JOCKEY CELEBRATION DAY Maiden Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.86)  

They look to roll along early with Egzakly and Moana Gold leading the charge. MOANA GOLD (7) can be up near the pace again and this has to be easier than recent metropolitan races. She was in the market there and wasn't disgraced either and the figures she produced stack up highly in this field. Can land the knockout blow this time in what looks a suitable race. EGZAKLY (6) was weak last time but had some decent form in the first campaign. Expecting plenty of improvement with that run under her belt and out in distance now. Can bounce back. OUR JEWEL (13) has trialled again since moving up north. She was racing pretty well when in NSW. TOTALLY UNDERRATED (8) was handy at Grafton. Could get into the placings once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moana Gold to win.
