GOING: G(4)

MARTY NELSON REFRIGERATION & AIR CONDITIONING MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder.  

Decent sized field but it lacks any obvious pace. FORWARDING (5) showed great early speed from the wide draw with a tenacious on-pace second over this trip at Wellington in a Super Maiden. Gets a better set-up today and the tongue-control bit goes on. Top-three contender. INYUN (2) pass mark first-up at Orange when she warmed up late to finish seventh over 1280m at Orange. Placed over this trip at her only other second up appearance. Can race closer from the better draw. LITLFELA (10) comes back in trip and grade after catching the eye with a tidy fourth over 1600m at Narromine. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MAJESTIC ROCA (11) sat on the good tempo early and was a spent force in the straight with a tiring sixth over 1750m at Muswellbrook. Blinkers come and deserves another chance. CULGOA KATE (6) better performance at latest and gets map favours here. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forwarding can get the job done in a competitive contest.
