Armidale   10 Nov 2024
 
GOING: G(4)

THE GUYRA HOTEL SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Impressionism has some speed and will likely look to lead. It's A Written also goes forward. Genuine enough speed likely. IMPRESSIONISM (5) was a big drifter at his debut at Quirindi and battled a bit after leading. Will be better for that and drawn well so expect him to be harder to beat. CONSIDERED (7) is a big watch on debut for top stable. Has trialled okay and any support for her would be significant. IT'S A WRITTEN (8) has been handy in two runs back from a break and not beaten far last time at Tamworth. With luck can be in the finish. STAFFA (11) and DUBIOUS SIX (4) have some claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impressionism to win. Save on Considered.
