GOING: G(4)

GOWINGS TOYOTA COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 35)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Toke possessing enough dash to find the front. SECOND SWING (6) returns for the Cavanough yard and looks to have come back in terrific order, tightening up nicely through two handy hit-outs. He keeps the blinkers from his recent trial and draws to advantage for Bullock, who should have him in the right spot. Bold showing anticipated. BREUKELEN (4) is a Farnan gelding on debut for Melanie O’Gorman and has impressed in both lead-up trials. From the inside alley he maps to get every favour and can make an immediate impact. THIRTY DEGREES (3) sets up well fourth-up after showing clear improvement in his past two runs. The draw is sticky, but the rise in trip suits and he’s trending the right way. STUCK IN THE GORGE (7) has good early toe and should give plenty of cheek on speed. If they hand him any breathing room, he’s capable of pinching it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Second Swing to return a winner.
