GOING: H(9)

PRECISE AIR HANDICAP 1250m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 6m Entire. (Pent: 6.08).  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Prophet's Pride leading the way. LLANDDWYN (5) found the line with gusto again last start over 1100m at Warwick Farm, making up a few lengths to get up for third. Cherry ripe after three runs back from a spell and the step up in distance is ideal. Great chance to make it 2/2 at this track and distance. NICCI'S GEM (11) stalked the pace then closed well but just missed when resuming over 1200m at Wyong last time out. Genuine mare who led all the way to score at Hawkesbury second-up last prep. Sure to give a great sight. DIAMOND MODEL (1) went back from a wide alley before charging home late to miss by a neck over this course and distance recently. Fitter for two runs in and looks a serious threat back against the mares. Lightly raced filly MERCHANT LADY (10) did a good job first-up at Newcastle and cannot be underestimated. KITTY CHAT (7) is back from a six-month break. Defeated Llanddwyn first-up last prep so she must be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Llanddwyn.
