GOING: S(6)

INFINITY CAPITAL SOLUTIONS CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 2100m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Sun Beauty, Cheval Gris and Coastal Groove up front. HAMPDEN (6) eleven start maiden with his hoof on the till. Strong through the line in the heavy (8) going when a tenacious nose second over 1890m at Newcastle. Distance suits and he looks too good for these at the weights. THAT'S OUTSTANDING (10) had mixed fortunes in two runs back and is desperate for this trip third up. Gave weight to the classy Polymnia when a disappointing eighth over 1800m at Hawkesbury. Assess on his good minor placings over this trip last time in. Leading prospect. BLUEBIRD BAY (3) third up today and getting out to his right distance range now. Kept finding with the 57.5kg when third over 1850m at Newcastle. Stalks the speed and no surprise to see him take this out. ALWAYS RIGHT (4) stable is having a good run at present and was rewarded for her consistency when a game maiden victory over 1890m at Newcastle. Blinkers come off and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hampden and That's Outstanding to fight it out.

The race before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 7 at Wyong Mid Cl1 on February 27 over 1625m, 2.75 len behind Otono with 56kg at $13. Will not find this easy. Will need everything to go right from the draw.

The race before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 13 at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on March 8 over 2000m, slow going head behind Lunar Lover with 59kg at $2.80. Ready to shed his maiden status in this event.
