GOING: G(4)

THE LAWN SHED MIDWAY 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. INSPIRED STAR (4) drifted in betting on debut when a plugging fifth over 1000m at Scone. Extra trip in his favour and expecting a much better effort from the good gate. WHERE'S MY HALO (8) Hallowed Crown filly from Bellissima on debut for the Quinton stable. Has shown improvement in both her trials this time in and has the ability to take a hand in the finish. WHILE SHE CAN (9) Hallowed Crown filly by Jo Jo Girl on debut for the John Thompson yard. Has shown improvement in her two latest trials. Gets her chance from the draw. EMPUSA (11) returns after failing to fire in three runs last prep. Fitted with the one good 1000m trial win and capable of taking a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inspired Star to win.
