GOING: G

JOIN THE RACE COAST TURF CLUB OPEN MAIDEN 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Reasonable tempo with Giddy Up Grace probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. HOMING PIGEON (1) is long overdue with a string of placings including 3/3 this trip and 1/1 course and distance. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out. LOUI'S STAR (6) has placed in four of the last five. Change of rider. Best figures measure right up to this line-up. WHO IS SHE (7) is a progressive type building to a win. Nice effort last time so worth following up. WOMAN IN GOLD (8) ran below expectations last time at Kenilworth, finishing tenth and beaten 11 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
