GOING: H(8)

VIVA RACING MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Navy Kiss to take charge ahead of Legin at a solid tempo. NAVY KISS (1) started favourite last time over this trip at Beaudesert but found one better, making it two minor placings from three career starts. Gets his chance to break through. MONTE CARLO MISS (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in fifth over this journey at the Gold Coast. Fitter and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside pillar. Bold showing anticipated. LEGIN (3) showed good early dash before weakening to finish fifth over 1590m at Ballina last time out. Is better than that last run suggests and is a chance to fill the frame fourth-up. STRENUOUS (10) struggled to get through the heavy conditions at Ipswich fresh. Better with that run under his belt and gets in light with the 3kg claimer engaged. Not dismissing completely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Kiss to win.
