GOING: H(8)

HYLAND RACE COLOURS PLATE 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 33)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.98)  

Expecting a moderate pace headed by Sphere and Maidoff. NORDIC VIKING (4) was backed from $3 into $2.40 first-up over 1250m at Canterbury but in a moderately run affair he lacked the change of gears required and was disappointing. Better placed out to this trip and the engagement of Nash is significant. SPICE PRAWN (8) made nice progress last time out when second-up from a spell, closing well to just miss the placings over 1200m at Rosehill. Should settle near the lead today over the longer journey with blinkers on. Ready to find peak form. EYNESBURY (1) just missed two back at Gosford then probably should have finished a lot closer at Canterbury most recently. Rock hard fit and ready for another try at seven furlongs. MAIDOFF (3) made it three minor placings from as many appearances this prep when a game second over 1200m at Rosehill last start. Always gives his best. SPHERE (7) is another who is racing well without winning. Getting beyond 1200m for the first time might be the key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Nordic Viking and Spice Prawn.

Three-year-old gelding (Flying Artie - Party Lady) will no doubt benefit from the four trials prior to his debut today, the latest a sixth over 789m at this track on February 16. Might need this one.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the pace when 2nd of 7 at Rosehill Cg&E Mdn-Sw on February 25 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Hay Street carrying 58.5kg at $6.50. The run before that 3rd of 7 at Wyong Cg&E Mdn on February 10 over 1100m, slow going 1.5 len behind Gravel Road carrying 58.5kg at $2.45. Always puts in a shift and should be about the money again.
