GOING: S(6)

PIER HOTEL SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. BARRON (18) lines up for the 34th time today. Registered his 15th minor placing last start when he chimed in late over this distance at Grafton. Gets in very well under today's weight scale. Equally at home on wet or dry surfaces - today might be his day. MRS GOLDBERG (13) is a debutant from the Matthew Dunn stable. By Yes Yes Yes from a High Chaparral mare who has produced seven winners. Recent Deagon trial winner who looks to have his share of ability. MISS GRAYSEA (9) is back from a five-month spell. Best effort last prep was an eye-catching second in soft going over this course and distance. Nicely placed to return in a positive way. JASIRA (10) lined up for just the second time and was six months between runs when a pleasing second in heavy going at Muswellbrook on Monday. Big chance if they opt for the quick back-up. Matthew Hoysted's first starter HEAD OF THE RIVER (12) has shown enough at the trials to suggest a bright opening is on the cards. SUGGESTED PLAY: Barron each-way.
