GOING: G(4)

CAMPBELL PETROLEUM DISTRIBUTORS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 18)   +3m Entire  

Of the raced we know Zambezi River has a stack of early speed. Competitive. SHE'S ALL IT (4) resumes and rates strongly off the Hawkesbury near-miss last time. Will be naturally improved and has trialled up well. Has an advantageous barrier and will be tough to beat. ZAMBEZI RIVER (1) is a leader who trialled sharply before finding one better at Wyong first-up. He will be fitter and is suited back to country level. Gets his chance. DE LUCA (6) placed at Scone on debut and it was a good effort. The longer sprint suits and she should be right in it. Stablemate READY TO SHINE (3) debuts owning a Warwick Farm trial win. Has an awkward gate but Collett is a positive jockey booking. Keep very safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with She's All It.
