GOING: G(4)

TOPGOLF Maiden Handicap 1200m Track: GOOD3 Clear (Max: 24) Rail: Out 3m 800m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 4.4).
Plenty of first starters engaged which makes for a tricky map. Tricky. FLYING AURELIUS (1) debuts and brings a sharp Doomben trial. The inside barrier should prove ideal and Cahill rides and knows his way around here. MACONDA (7) resumes off a promising debut and she's also trialled well at Doomben. Maps for the run of the race and is feared. THUNDER SHANGHAI (4) resumes and will be naturally improved. She's shown enough to consider. Not much between the rest fighting out for the minor purse. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Flying Aurelius.
