GOING: S(5)

MCDONALDS TAMWORTH SHOWCASE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace from the outset with He Is The Kiss and Alertado leading the charge. HE IS THE KISS (9) professional place-getter due for a change of luck. Back in trip for this after being collared final stages when second over 1280m at Muswellbrook on June 17. Hard fit and can go one better today. GIGATON (1) progressed nicely at third run back when sitting on the speed for a gritty third over 1200m at Dubbo on June 19. A repeat of the latest should see him figure prominently. READ 'EM AND WEEP (10) back in trip and will relish the drop in weight after finishing third over 1450m at Muswellbrook on June 17. Ready to win and can get off the mark at start 12. ENTERPRISE DANCER (5) resumes after failing to finish the race on debut over 1400m at Eagle Farm on February 7. Since fitted with two trials and can redeem herself from the inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,1,10,5.
