GOING: S(6)

CUPRUM DISTILLERY MAIDEN 1685m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Moderate tempo headed by Sky God, Maid An Offer and Ain'tnocureforlove. FLASH OF DALLAS (9) was sound first-up from a long way back, beaten 5.5L over 1400m here, though the rise in trip should suit. She was effective in the Oaks and CJP sticking is a positive sign. Still lightly raced with plenty of upside and she can shed the maiden tag. SKY GOD (11) ran home strongly to be 0.6L off the winner over 1400m at Belmont in a stronger race than this. He was 80-1 there, though this is much easier and he looks suited up to this trip. Drawn nicely and can put his best foot forward. STARWALKER (5) was only 1L off the winner after closing strongly as a 20-1 pop at Northam last start. He's learning every time he goes to the races and the form out of his last campaign has been franked already. Can be in the finish. NEAP TIDE (12) got a long way back on debut and should be suited by the rise in distance. Can improve. ROCK IN WONDER (7) gets the blinkers on first time and out in trip. Ticks a few boxes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flash Of Dallas gets the nod.
