---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Mayne, Divine Diamonds and Caishen going hard, closely attended by Maragical. NOVEMBER SUN (13) resumed with a narrow defeat here, and it was an impressive effort after settling rearward from a wide barrier. She sits at the bottom of the weights, and Craig Williams' engagement suggests she's pleasing. She can go one better. MARAGICAL (5) has been racing in rich qualities. He was narrowly beaten at long odds at Eagle Farm last time, and that stacks right up. Has a low gate and Lang's claim, and it's hard to risk the Gollan yard. MAYNE (2) is also in good metro hands, and found more like his best winning this grade on the Gold Coast poly, as expected. He has a handy 2kg claim, and back to the turf won't bother. Fitter again and his best would have him right in it. PROMINENT LAD (6) is a promising galloper from the Vandyke yard, and he didn't have the best of it here first-up. Has Maloney aboard today and a low barrier, and he won at Eagle Farm at his only second-up outing. CAISHEN (8) won an Ipswich Maiden on debut with a bit in reserve. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: With November Sun.
