GOING: G(4)

THE ADVISER COLLECTIVE MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Prince Of Sorts leading the way. PRINCE OF SORTS (2) showed pace to lead at Wyong last time out over 1200m and only wilted late, finishing runner-up by half-a-length. There will be no fitness concerns third up and with that 3kg claim advantage, he will be the one to peg back again. GOOD ONCE (3) has found it hard to win another race but usually holds his form once he reaches full fitness. He was third behind the top pick in the same race last time out and should be thereabouts again. AROHA STONE (5) needed her first couple of starts back from a spell at this level before dropping back to country class at Port Macquarie nearly 2 weeks ago and scoring by half a length. She has 2kg less to carry this time and now that she has figured out how to win, she can go on with the job. TAKE ME TO CHURCH (1) has needed time to mature after winning on debut nearly a year ago on the Beaumont course here. He will eventually want more ground but should be hitting the line strongly late. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Sorts each-way.
