GOING: H(10)

TEMPERATURE CONTROL CENTRAL COAST CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1700m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 5m 800m-400m. Out 3m Remainder; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 6.2).  

Genuine pace with Arpels and Pier Pressure jostling for the early lead. Tough contest. Group 1 placegetter PIER PRESSURE (11) is a talented filly coming back many grades after failing to get into the contest when eighth behind BASES LOADED over 1600m in the G3 Gunsynd Classic at Eagle Farm on June 15. Looks placed to advantage here with race fitness on her side. FERNAO (3) former import who ran on late at first Australian start when a plugging third over 1550m at Canterbury on June 19. Fitter now and will relish this trip and further. Group 3 placegetter ZAPHOD (8) is a three-year-old Irish gelding having his first Australian run for the Kris Lees yard. Gelded over the break and finished third in the G3 Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown over 1810m eight months ago. Fitted with two searching trials and market moves must be closely monitored. FLYBALL (6) ran on late in the heavy (10) conditions when a solid third over 1614m at Taree on June 25. Will appreciate the 3kg claim and has a fitness edge over most of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,3,8,6.
