GOING: S(5)

AJ CIVIL PROJECTS CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1315m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +2m 1600m-1000m, +6m 1000m-350m, where cutaway to true applies..  

Solid tempo anticipated with Golden Copper leading the way. SHOOT THE DIVA (5) progressed nicely last time out when she made late ground to finish just 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1250m at Taree. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GOLDEN COPPER (2) finished 2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1100m at Port Macquarie when first up from a spell. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. TESER (1) was prominent at the corner and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1610m at Grafton after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. NOBLE MISSILE (4) is worth keeping safe fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shoot The Diva looks on target for this.
