GOING: G(4)

LIGHT & WONDER SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Small field in which Funshow can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. Nice little maiden. I AM ADONIS (7) gets the nod after finishing third in a strong form race when fresh from a spell over 1100m at Rosehill last start. Needs the longer trip second-up and the blinkers going on might add some spark. Looks the one but there are a few serious challengers including COPARTNER PEGASUS (1) who hit the line strongly first-up over 1200m at Gosford. Improved as the prep went on when last in work so he should build on that encouraging effort. FLYING PARTY (4) has recorded three minor placings from as many runs, all in country maidens. Meets some better types this time but the application of blinkers could be significant. FUNSHOW (5) is back for a second campaign after a maiden prep that saw him find one better as favourite in all three runs. Trialled well at Gosford recently so he looks wound up for this. CIRCUS GIRL (9) hasn't been all that far away at her last couple and with a soft run from gate one she comes under notice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing I Am Adonis to win.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after five months came from midfield; 4th of 13 at Gosford Prov Mdn on April 9 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Mane Character with 57.5kg at $6. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Newcastle 4yo+ MDN-Sw on October 7 over 1500m, 2 len behind Buckenara with 59kg at $7. Will come on from that run and the extra 100m is a big help.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 9 at Orange Super Mdn on April 17 over 1280m, 0.8 len behind The Magnet with 59.5kg at $2.10. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Nowra Mdn on April 5 over 1400m, on a wet track; head behind Stellar Rhonda carrying 58.5kg at $10. Racing well and the application of blinkers might be the difference.

Racing second-up today. Last outing got back early 3rd in a small field at Rosehill 3yo+ MDN-Sw on April 6 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Compensation with 58.5kg at $7. At only start last preparation sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 13 at Rosehill 3yo Mdn on October 1 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Ripley with 58kg at $9. Big chance with blinkers on second-up back at the provincials.
