GOING: S(5)

Grogans Machinery 2YO Maiden Plate 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Good speed anticipated with a large contingent of first starters lining up. They've set us a task here, with all but one of the horses guaranteed a start in the race seen at the races and the likely favourite the fourth emergency. That's ANGELS FURY (20), who was so well-regarded last prep that she started $1.70 in the G3 Blue Diamond Preview. She failed to beat a runner home that day, but it was a too-bad-to-be-true sort of run and she has lit up the trials since. AGORAPHOBIC (8) has trialled well and draws nicely here, which could be the big edge in a race with so many first-starters. Keeping her on side. BETTYLOU WHO (9) has looked good in two trials this time in and has the inside alley. DUSTEE (17) drifted on debut despite some good trials and he never really featured there. Since been gelded and his recent jumpout was solid. Can make an impression. SUGGESTED PLAY: Angels Fury to win.
