GOING: S(6)

CLIPSAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Martiniontheside has enough early dash to set a genuine tempo. MONTE TIANA (8) chased hard to fill the frame two back at Hawkesbury and then followed it up with another solid effort last time despite finishing out of the placings. Should be ready to peak now and is a leading player. GOOD PRIZE (3) improved last start at the Sapphire Coast when chasing gamely into the placings. Has a wide alley to overcome but rates highly on best figures and can give this a mighty shake. MARTINIONTHESIDE (13) showed an improved effort at the Sapphire Coast when holding on to a minor placing. Gets in low at the weights again and is an each-way chance. COMB OVER CON (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monte Tiana gets the nod.
