MUSWELLBROOK FORD MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m Track: GOOD4 Rain (Max: 27) +3m 800 - 400, True remainder |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Moderate tempo with Turning Circle leading the way. LIKE LUKEY (1) returned from an 18-week spell and made it four minor placings from five starts when she stormed home from last on the bend to get up for third over 1400m at this track. Perfectly placed out to this trip. Should settle closer today and gets her chance to break through. ROCKBARTON ISLAND (2) was ridden closer than usual last start and responded by finishing the closest of seconds over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Cherry ripe after three runs back and blinkers on for the first time might give him that extra edge. TURNING CIRCLE (9) was unwanted in betting and ran accordingly at Kembla recently. Worth another chance having his first run with the shades applied. WITHANIA (10) is another whose form is not flattering but could do better with the blinkers going on. CHARBONNEUSE (4) struggled when returning from an 11-month break here last time but should strip a lot fitter now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very keen to be with Like Lukey.
