GOING: G(4)

TAB CLASS 1 & MAIDEN PLATE 1700m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.10)  

Expecting Cool Machine to take up the running with Tainui and Unowho close at hand. Progressive three-year-old TAINUI (6) lined up for the third time and opened his account most impressively over 1400m at Coonamble last start, clearing out for an easy win after stalking the speed. Looks ready for the step up in trip and can win again. MISS CLAMOROSA (12) continued her run of fine performances with a close second last time out over the mile at Coonamble. Was strong through the line on that occasion which suggests she will enjoy getting out to this distance for the first time. UNOWHO (3) is racing well but enduring a long run of outs. Poor effort over 2000m at Canberra last start after going close over the same trip at Albury the run prior. Gets a few gear changes today so worth another chance. Last start Orange maiden winner CASINO DIVA (11) gets to this journey for the first time but it looks a good move. Solid light weight hope. The race looks to end there, with TRUMPTY DUMPTY (15) perhaps worth including in wide exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tainui to score again.
