GOING: S(7)

DK HEAVY PLANT MECHANICS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1280m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m 1200m-300m; Cutaway Applies; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with several going forward. HE IS THE KISS (11) holding his form well and due for a change of luck. Stalked the good tempo when a fighting third over 1200m at Moree on June 4. Regular rider back on and has the numbers to take this out. BUBBLES AND CAVIAR (9) disappointed in stronger company this time in and gets some nice weight relief with the claim today. Expected to improve sharply here. LOST ILLUSIONS (3) showed ability last time in over further and resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Has placed first-up and since fitted with two searching 1000m trials. Betting best guide from the low draw. REBELLION STYLE (4) returns from a let-up and is likely to add some value, if he can improve on his Newcastle performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,9,3,4.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 8 at Newcastle Super Mdn on May 4 over 1500m, slow going 10 len behind Good Once with 55kg at $26.
