GOING: G(4)

MONARCH MOTEL HOTEL MORUYA MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Gutbuster. ELTOROSON (3) finished a solid second two back, before wilting sharply after showing good early speed over 1600m at Kembla Grange when finishing eighth. Will take some running down in this company. JULIETTE'S JOY (4) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent outing over 1600m at Bendigo. In new stable and likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment with the blinkers added. MERCHANT LEGEND (1) is returning from a spell of ten months. Finished sixth at Kembla Grange over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now in the Fabio Martino yard and can make his presence felt. VORIAH (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eltoroson to win.
