GOING: H(8)

DENNIS BOURNES MEMORIAL PROVINCIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +2m 1100m-300m, True Remainder .  

The trio Copartner Pegasus, Classic Two and Ridgeback will set a strong tempo. CLASSIC TWO (3) finally drawn a decent gate at his fourth run back. Speared across from the wide gate and the early effort told late when seventh over 1625m at Wyong. Will roll forward again and looks well placed to get off the mark. SIRIUS MOSS (10) improving with racing and a win looks imminent. Strong through the line when a close second over 1625m at Wyong. Another who goes forward and fight this out. COPARTNER PEGASUS (4) desperate for this trip and further fourth-up. Was a month between runs when taken to the front for a gritty third over 1300m at Illawarra Grange. Will prove hard to get past from the inside barrier. WHAT A GENT (6) tough performance when he led them up to the turn with the 59kg to finish third over 1625m at Wyong. Hard fit and Adkins sticks. Each way player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,10,4,6.
