GOING: S(5)

AUSTRALIAN METAL RECYCLING MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Plenty of pace with Declan and Thyme To Go leading from Russian Reign. Tough race to line up. The Archibald stable send their two-year-old THYME TO GO (8) out against older horses for her second run back. Led for home first-up over 1200m at Randwick against her own age but she didn't quite get the trip. Fitter and better placed back to 1100m on a tight track. Will give them something to catch. TSARDEAL (6) resumed over this distance at Goulburn last time out and did a good job to work home for second, beaten just a long neck. Kept fresh since that run a month ago. Nicely drawn and looks sure to be thereabouts again. DECLAN (1) returns after a four-month spell. Placed in both runs to date, most recently over today's journey at Gosford. Trialling as though he is ready to make an immediate impact. RUSSIAN REIGN (17) is a query at the trip but is going too well to rule out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thyme To Go to win.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run got back early 4th of 8 at Nowra Mdn on May 24 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 3.5 len behind Don't What Me carrying 57kg at $3.40. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 7 at Goulburn Mdn-Sw on April 27 over 1100m, 2 len behind Tennessee Dolly with 56.5kg at $10. This looks too rich.
