GOING: H(10)

WAL'S CONCRETING SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Tapering can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. IMPENDOR (4) finished runner-up on all four occasions and fitter after resuming with a sound second at Ipswich over 1100m on May 15. Extra trip suits and sure to be attacking the line late. CHERBOURG (2) racing in career-best form of late and a win looks imminent. Lengthened in good style when a slashing third at the Gold Coast Poly over 1200m on May 18. Blinkers go on today and also gets the 3kg claim. Don't dismiss. TAPERING (12) fitter now after fading late when sixth over 1115m at Grafton on May 16. Go on previous second when assessing his chances. GAME STAR (9) resuming after a break of six-and-a-half months and no surprise to see her sprint well fresh. Can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impendor to win.
