GOING: S(5)

WYONG LEAGUES GROUP - THE ROOS FOUNDATION PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Hardpoint to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. FINGER BUN (6) should improve as the trips lengthen and strips fitter this time. Definite improver out to a mile. HARDPOINT (2) fought hard on debut behind a dominant winner and tackles an extra furlong now. Capable type on the up. OAKFIELD PEEWEE (4) only went down narrowly at Port Macquarie last start and while this is harder, he is rock hard fit and Bullock legs aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Finger Bun win.
