GOING: S(5)

AFGRI EQUIPMENT NORTHAM MAIDEN 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +1m Entire.  

They look to roll along early with Now You See Me and Rigatoni leading the charge. CHATTAHOOCHIE (8) absolutely bolted in at the trials recently and looks a very exciting filly on debut. She was scratched from a maiden on Wednesday to run here. The draw should see her get every chance and if she runs up to the trial effort, she can make a winning start to her career. NOW YOU SEE ME (2) tackled Open 3YO company at Ascot and was just outclassed there, but his efforts prior in Maiden company were very strong. Tsang's in form and his claim comes in handy here. He'll be up on the speed from the outset and he'll give a bold sight. RIGATONI (5) disappointed last start after a good performance fresh in tougher company. She has the speed to roll across from out wide and if she can bounce back to her best form dropping to 1000m, then she'll be hard to catch. CATHEDRAL POINT (7) draws an inside barrier on debut and is not to be discounted. FLYING JOMA (9) can improve with the blinkers going on first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chattahoochie looks the one on debut.
