GOING: G(4)

LOCALSEARCH Maiden Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.90)  

Pace strong with Red Force and Power Of Success leading with Dream Summit nearby. TAJALAT (6) resumes for the top metro barn. Two back she was beaten a nose at Doomben, and she's been readied for this with a Doomben trial. Races forward and has a handy 2kg claim. The betting will be key. POWER OF SUCCESS (3) resumed in the market at Doomben but offered little after staking the speed (vet cleared). He was heavily bet missing a whisker twice here prior and that's the best measure of his ability. He will skip across and fitter can give a sight. HIGHLAND SAPPHIRE (11) resumes and has switched from a Victorian stable. Her best would be good enough, and she's trialled well. Tends to settle back, and the rails gate doesn't look ideal. Keep onside regardless. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tajalat if the betting suggests stable confidence.
