GOING: U

CHALLENGE DRILLING MAIDEN 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +10m Entire.  

Nistirith and God's Wrath can be prominent. Hard to go past the speedy NISTIRITH (9) who is third-up but having first run for a new yard. Runner-up fresh at Mount Barker then runner-up again last time at Belmont Park in what has been a red-hot form race with four subsequent winners. Has brilliant early speed and will take catching. SPANGLEDSTAR (6) has had a let-up since finishing midfield last time at Ascot. The run was much better than it looked coming from the tail and winding up strongly. Hard to hold out this line-up. LUMINOUS LADY (8) is back from a long break. Wound up strongly at the last run which was here. Should be doing best work late again. COCOBELLE (10) has started twice so far in richer company and can improve sharply in this field. INKAANTOON (7) is fresh-up and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Nistirith.
