GOING: S(6)

LIMITLESS LODGE MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Lots of speed predominantly from The Netball Queen, Frostisen and Dear My Friend. Speedy filly FROSTISEN (6) lined up for only the second time last start and showed a great turn of foot to easily take out a Hawkesbury maiden over today's trip. Has been well found in betting at both starts and is living up to the market confidence. Ready to take this next step, particularly in her own backyard. MASTER YODA (4) showed little early muster but really knuckled down late to get the chocolates on debut over this distance at Goulburn last time out. Not sure staying at 1100m on a tight track is ideal, but with natural improvement to come he should be highly competitive again. HE'S COOL (3) easily accounted for Frostisen over this course and distance two back then closed late for third when a month between runs at Port Macquarie most recently. Proper contender. DEAR MY FRIEND (1) last appeared when an all-the-way winner over 1000m here in October. Trialling well and is right in the mix. THE NETBALL QUEEN (5) bolted in here last start and cannot be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Frostisen to continue her winning ways.

Second run back. Comes off a 52-day let-up. First-up after five months did the work up front then tired second last of 7 at Gosford Prov Bm64 on February 11 over 1100m, 5 len behind Dietrich with 58kg at $12. Previously second-up 6th of 8 at Canberra Acton Mdn on August 8 over 1080m, 12 len behind Miss Trentino with 53kg at $4.40. Freshened up and the winkers go on so he is worth serious consideration.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 8 at Port Macquarie Cg&E Cl1 on March 24 over 1200m, slow going 2 len behind Patrioticintention carrying 59.5kg at $2.90. The start before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at this track Super Mdn February 21 over 1100m defeating Frostisen carrying 54.5kg at $5.50. Very fit and gets some nice weight relief today.

Was well in the market at debut, won won by 0.8 len at Goulburn Mdn-Sw March 10 over 1100m in soft going defeating Ivory Frost with 58.5kg at $4.20. Thought they might step up in trip second-up, but he is still a serious contender.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at this track Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw February 21 over 1000m defeating Blue Suede Hooves with 57kg at $1.55. Before that led but faded 2nd of 8 at Gosford Mid 4yo+ Mdn on February 11 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Showtime Shadow carrying 55kg at $4.80. Has upside and is a serious prospect in this line-up.

Second-up favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn March 17 over 1100m defeating Arato with 57kg at $2.90. Looks well above average and can take this next step on home turf.

Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Kembla Grange Bm64 on May 6 over 1200m, on a wet track; 2 len behind Let's Go Again with 55.5kg at $7. Not out of the equation.
