GOING: H(10)

CENTRAL COAST GRANITE MIDWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 5m 800m-400m. Out 3m Remainder; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 6.2).  

Persister is expected to lead at a strong tempo. ALVINA'S LUCK (3) promising mare who shouldn't be a maiden for too much longer. Ran on late at resumption with a solid second over 1200m at Wyong on June 13. Gets her chance today in this easier event with the strong tempo. PERSISTER (9) resumed for second prep with a tough on-pace third over 1000m at Kembla Grange on June 4. Strips fitter and gets the benefit of the 3kg claim. Shouldn't have and problem getting the 1200m. TIKIROO (12) Adam Duggan trained two-year-old colt by Xtravagant on debut. Has shown promise in two trials and has been heavily supported this morning. FINEST ART (5) returned from a lengthy break with a plugging sixth over 1100m at Wyong on June 13. Fitter now and gets weight relief with Roper's 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alvina's Luck to win.
