GOING: H(8)

AIR CONTROL AUSTRALIA MIDWAY 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Purple Rose leading the way. DOLLARS (3) produced two better efforts over the summer and comes off a slick lead-up trial. All set to box on late here. TAWFIQ TOM (5) has been creeping up to a win of late and pushed home hard at this track and trip late last time. With an all-options draw gets his chance. JEWEL COUNTY (4) hasn’t been fully exposed yet, coming via just one race start. Slightly up in trip after a recent stick-on trial is a keep-safe play. PURPLE ROSE (7) looks best of the rest after two improved showings of late in moderate company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dollars straight out.
