GOING: S(5)

CLAIRE RAMSBOTHAM APPRENTICE OF THE YEAR CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1435m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m 1000m-380m Cutaway Applies.  

A strong tempo is assured with Hope And Glory and Write Your Own leading the charge. GEEMES (1) former Maher mare resuming for the Mitch Beer stable. Total forgive from the outside gate when a disappointing thirteenth over 1800m in the LR Pt A Gneas at Morphettville last April. Fitted with the one searching 1150m trial at Kembla and can finish over the top of these. KOOL BIRD (7) gets a better setup for this and should have little trouble running the distance out. On the quick backup after closing late when fifth over 1200m at Queanbeyan last Tuesday. Expected to take a hand in the finish. MISSILE DEFENCE (3) held up along the inside with the 60kg when a gritty sixth over 1400m at Gundagai. Deep into the prep and good enough to win this. HOPE AND GLORY (5) up in trip when a disappointing fifth over 1400m at Nowra on the heavy (8) surface. Senior rider back on and can turn it around today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,7,3,5.
