GOING: H(8)

IMPACT BUILDING MIDWAY 2YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +8 Metres Entire.  

All runners lining up for the first time so expect them to go keenly. DIVO (2) has looked all talent and nothing else at the trials. Finds a snug race day draw so must take seriously on debut. FLYING ORCHID (3) has looked ready to race in two trials in wet conditions. Can kick an early goal from a sweet draw. MAGIC FLAMES (7) has been close enough in two trials to hint at race day talent. Market watch on debut, while JUST RESPONSE (4) has won both trials coming into this, harassing the clock in both. Jump and run type with serious early talent. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divo straight out.
