GOING: S(6)

TAB SAME RACE MULTI HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire. (Pent: 4.81).  

Genuine pace with Kalimba and Chebici vying for the lead from their low draws. FERGHANA (5) wins this at best and will be much sharper second-up. Martin is a positive jockey booking and will give him every chance. GOODNIGHT BARLOW (1) resumes and is up to this if presented forward. Went close three back on debut and maps well. He's trialled and the Ible stable brought one to Canberra 8 days ago and was in the winner's stall. KALIMBA (6) needed the first-up outing. She's raced mainly in stronger and quick improvement is likely. Uses the rail and is in well with the 2kg claim. GLORY START (4) maps well and has been around the mark in stronger Maidens. He's been kept fresh and his best would see him in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ferghana.
