GOING: G(4)

INGLIS XTRA BONUS SERIES PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Not much early pressure but Zoustrong, Kermalicious and Damascus Calling can take up forward spots. WILD THOUGHTS (1) has been freshened and then stretched out in a trial since a first-up top-two effort. Ready to break through on home track. Stablemate PENALTIES (5) has a winning feel about him after a strong first-up effort and a subsequent trial win. Kind draw gets him serious cred. ZOUSTRONG (2) backs up quickly after a much braver effort last start. The added trip looks right up his alley third up. Not writing off MORE CASH (3) just yet. Down in the weights could try a jump and run ambush on home patch. AUTUMN HEIR (7) holds some minor each way appeal off a midfield fourth at this course. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wild Thoughts win.
