GOING: G(4)

WIN TELEVISION Maiden Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Expecting Power Of Success to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. MARAVILLAS (2) was third in his first start from the Mark Currie stable and has won a trial here before that. He will be spot on with his fitness third up, and with 3kg less to carry this time, he will be hard to hold out. BEANS MEANS (4) has been trying to win a race for some time but is still only lightly tried for a 6-year-old gelding. He cops a wide gate but carries 3kg less this time, which should help offset his wide draw. Stick with him on an each-way basis. COLONEL PARKER (8) was second as favourite at Dalby 25 days ago when resuming from a spell. He has been in the money in all 3 starts on this course, and another honest effort can be expected. Follow your money. POWER OF SUCCESS (3) showed a lot of courage to finish a head back in third fresh up on this track 3 weeks ago after forcing the pace. He strips fitter and can pick up a win at short notice. HIDEYOSHI (7) made up some late ground when finishing fifth on debut and will appreciate an extra 100m to travel this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Maravillas to win.
