GOING: H(8)

GOREE SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Tangelo Star to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. GHAZNAVI (5) ran a handy race behind a smart one at Scone before five weeks into last start when solid in betting and placed at Tamworth. Just needs a touch of luck from the gate and he's entitled to go close. LAST LALIQUE (1) has improved with each run so far and bumped into a handy one there at Scone third-up. Looks the major threat in a race with few winning hopes. BONNIE AND BRUCE (2) has put two good runs together now and if he can continue that trend then he's a place chance. LEGRIS (9) and TORQUIN (6) are capable of improving on their fresh efforts, the latter a market watch after being a sharp drifter. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ghaznavi to win. Save on Last Lalique.
