GOING: G(4)

DAD N DAVE TURF/SOUTHERN CROSS TURF/ELITE SAND & SOIL/EVERGEEN TURF SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Heartfelt Award to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. Bjorn Baker's ALABAMA CHARM (2) is back from a six-month spell. Finished second in a Wellington Boot then was tested in the Group 2 Percy Sykes at the close of last prep. Should be forward enough following two trials. Should be too good for these. CHAMBER OF SECRETS (8) progressed nicely last time out at just her second appearance, making late ground to grab second over 1400m at Scone. Coming back in trip doesn't looks ideal but she is better than most of these and should give a great sight. VENDOR (5) raced once for Godolphin back in June and finished midfield at Sale. Now with Mack Griffiths and has trialled once for the new mentor. Betting watch advised. MAYBE NOW (1) has raced twice this prep and been on the wrong side of photo finishes on each occasion. Nicely drawn and sure to run well again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Alabama Charm.
