GOING: S(7)

DAILEY FAMILY FUNERALS MAIDEN PLATE 1150m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Expecting From The Peak to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Solid race with some exciting prospects engaged. FROM THE PEAK (4) resumes after knocking up late on debut when a tough on pace second over 1200m at Newcastle on March 7. Expected to have developed further since and primed for this with the two trials. Won't be a maiden for too much longer. LOUISBURGH (3) has a fitness edge over most of these fourth up and back in trip on the firmer surface. Winkers come off and will prove hard to get past from the inside gate. ANDHE'S BRAVE (6) has shown potential in his two career runs and brings the right figures to take this out. Closed off strongly when third over 1100m at Goulburn. Maps well. GRAPHIC SIGHT (7) resumes after having to work hard early from the wide gate on debut, when a fading third over 1000m at Canberra. Given the two trials for this and expected to take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: From The Peak gets her chance.
