GOING: S(7)

THANK YOU PETER ELLIOTT SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1180m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Magnetic Island leading Has He Got It. DOUBTFREE (6) best performance in seven career starts when surging late to finish second, first up over 1000m at Wagga. Can race a little closer today and go one better. KICKSTART (2) resumed with a fast finishing second at Albury over 900m in the heavy (8) conditions. This looks much easier from the low draw, and the extra trip is in his favour. SEASMOKE (11) improved effort at her second race start when powering late from last on the turn to run sixth over 1000m at Wagga. Gets the right set up from the inside gate. Respect. EYE FOR STYLE (10) two runs back have been encouraging and not to be overlooked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,2,11.
