GOING: S(6)

HUNT HOSPITALITY F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +10m entire.  

Moderate pace from Rosa Incanta taking it up with Over The Rainbow and Ernaux on her back. $3 million yearling ERNAUX (3) was disappointing as favourite when resuming, tiring to miss the placings. Best run last prep was second-up when a close third at Canterbury. Can improve enough to give this a shake. ROSA INCANTA (1) raced back in the field and wide before closing well to finish fifth when resuming in a strong form race over 1200m at Rosehill a month ago. Kept fresh and will find this easier so she is right in contention. PINK PERSUASION (5) is a daughter of Written Tycoon on debut for Chris Waller. Must respect off those factors alone. BRITISH GEM (9) has been trialling well so is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Top two picks are hard to split - leaning to Ernaux.

Second run back. First-up after four months 5th of 13 at Rosehill 3yo Mdn on October 1 over 1200m, 4 len behind Ripley carrying 57.5kg at $12.

Freshened up and coming back to the provincials brings her right into calculations.
