GOING: S(6)

CARLTON DRY MID 3.5 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Strong early tempo with Elle Hudson leading the way. Tough maiden with plenty of chances. RECRUITER (4) comes out of a solid debut race when third to ART VOLANT over 1000m at Hawkesbury on May 30. Strips fitter now and Lloyd keeps the ride. LILY BOBTAIL (8) two runs back have been encouraging and desperate for a firmer track. Warmed up late when third over 1100m at Wyong on June 6. Fitness should see her play a leading role again. CAPTAIN EAGLE (2) three-year-old gelding by Per Incanto out of Nasaayim on debut for the Ryan/Alexiou yard. Two recent trials have been encouraging and looks ready to go from the inside draw. FUGITIVA (5) placed in three of her four runs in first prep and returns a much stronger filly. Trained on the track and was a strong recent trial winner over 800m here on June 11. Big market watch with Tommy Berry engaged. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,8,2,5.
