McGRATH ESTATE AGENTS SHOWCASE 3YO&UP SUPER MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: 4m from 1200m - 300m where cutaway applies .  

Strong tempo with Sant Gervasi and Reign 'Em In leading from Won'thearmecoming and Love You Anyway. REIGN 'EM IN (2) improving filly who drops back a level after finishing in the minor money at both starts on the provincial circuit. Stuck on well with the 57kg to finish a close-up third over 900m at Newcastle. Will take catching from the low gate. WON'THEARMECOMING (4) smart filly who resumes from a lengthy break. Kept safe in betting on debut with a fighting second over 900m at this track last October. Ran third in a recent 745m trial at Randwick. Shapes as the main danger. SAMMY THE BULL (3) comes here with a fitness edge over the bulk of these fourth-up. Chipped away late from the sticky gate with a plugging third over 1000m at Gosford. This looks easier and not without each way claims. LOVE YOU ANYWAY (9) finished runner-up at her last four starts and gets a key jockey change today on the quick back-up. Taken to the front and showed a ton of grit with a close-up second over 1007m at Taree. Sure to be thereabouts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Reign 'Em In and Won'thearmecoming can fight it out.
