TLE THANKS SAL LIGHTING PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Kitty Okay taking charge. NYMPHADORA (9) showed good early speed in the same Hawkesbury contest before fading out. She wasn't beaten too far at Canterbury first-up prior and goes okay third-up. Draws inside and has more to give. Should be right in it. GREYT THINKER (3) returned from a spell and raced forward here a month ago beaten 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has trialled since and won his only second-up outing. He also has more up his sleeve and deserves consideration. KITTY OKAY (6) improved again just missing over 1300m in a 64 at Warwick Farm. Has to push forward from an outside barrier but can feature with average luck. ICEFORD (1) is a former Irish galloper resuming for the Beer yard. Has the ability and was placed in a recent trial here. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nymphadora appeals most.
