GOING: S(6)

LAKE MACQUARIE CARPET CLEANING PROVINCIAL 3YO&UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 400m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder.  

Plenty of early pace from Kervette, Ramius and Irradiance primarily. RAMIUS (4) has serious credentials first up aided by a soft draw. Showed talent last campaign and two recent trials have been close up efforts. Pay to follow now. KERVETTE (2) is headed for longer trips but has the right form to sprint well fresh. Placed in a recent trial and expected to race handy. Genuine claims in this line up. THAIBEEFSALADE (12) was only getting warm late first up and she did run some cracking races last campaign. Second up must consider. SHARPEN THE KNIVES (3) boxed on well enough first up after some smart trials prior. Slight query at a longer trip but still has enough upside to rate strongly here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ramius each-way.
