GOING: S(6)

NORTH DUBBO RSL SPORTIES SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m 900-400 True Remainder.  

Strong early tempo with Sunset Drive driving forward from a wide gate with Panelli also handy. THE MAILER (6) returns from a let-up and now in the Brett Robb camp. Failed to make an impression when fifth over 1543m at Geelong Lon May 1. Can sprint well fresh in this easier race with the 2kg claimer aboard. GOLD FINGER (9) finished in the minor money at her two career starts and doesn't have to improve much to win this. Strong through the line again when third over this trip at Bathurst. Desperate for a firmer surface and can expected to go close. FIERCE IMPULSE (8) unwanted in betting first-up and ran accordingly with a dismal fifth over 1200m at Warren. Has a host of gear changes and finds a very weak contest. ODAKA (11) never comfortable on the heavy surface first-up with a tiring fifth over 1200m at Bathurst. Has a solid SP profile and stays in the mix. LIFE IS A SHIRAZ (1) Bjorn Baker discard having his first start for the Brett Robb yard. Finds the right race to run a much better contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Mailer and Gold Finger bring the right form to take this out.
