MT FRANKLIN Maiden Handicap 1000m Track: Soft 5 Rain (Max: 19) Rail: +9m Entire. (Pent: 6.52) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Strong tempo with Wild Dust and Moscow City leading the way over Overtern. PODIUM STAR (1) is facing the starter for the first time but has shown plenty of ability at the trials and this is not an overly strong affair. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and a strong showing on debut would not surprise. Former NSW galloper KINGSLAND (2) just missed the placings when having his first run for the new barn and will have derived a stack of benefit from that hit-out. Can improve enough to feature in the finish. ARISTOCRATIC GIRL (7) is another at the track for the first time but Cartwright stays on board for race day and any market push must be noted. MOSCOW CITY (5) next in line with the 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Podium Star to debut a winner.
