GOING: S(5)

MANGOOLA COAL OPERATIONS MAIDEN PLATE 1280m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +5m 1000m - 300m; Then Cutaway, True Remainder .  

Grand Voile is expected to lead at a strong tempo. GRAND VOILE (13) unwanted in betting on debut ($26), when a gritty on pace fourth over 1280m here. Should have come on with that run and gets her chance. BACKHANDER (10) heavily supported to start ($1.65 fav), when closing strongly for a narrow second in a small field over 1300m at Armidale. A repeat of that will see her go close with Reece Jones taking the reins. SATIN'S LEGACY (14) covered plenty of ground on resumption when a plugging fifth over 1000m at Scone. Gets the right set-up for this and shapes as a top three player. SPEED OF GOLD (3) eight-start maiden with his hoof on the till. Closed off well from the wide gate when a tough second over 1200m at Scone. Solid each way contender. PIERRO'S GIRL (9) resumes after running some respectable races in stronger company last campaign. Blinkers come off and look for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 13,10,14,3.
