GOING: G(4)

JIM'S MOWING PROVINCIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

No recognised leader engaged but Bride Wars possesses enough dash to take advantage of a low draw and take it up. TURNING CIRCLE (12) hit the line with intent first up with an eye catching third over 1200m at Gosford. Clearly come back much stronger and capable of taking a hand in the finish. CATHEDRAL COVE (1) near his top now third up and stays in the calculations after running second to The Mona Lisa over 1300m at Goulburn. Comes out of a handy race and gets his chance again from the draw. OUI OUI OUI (11) resumes after making her debut here last November with an even fourth over 1200m last November. Fitted with a 1000m trial victory and has genuine claims. ME ME (9) resumes from a lengthy break with the three mixed runs. Hit the line with intent when third over 800m in a Kembla trial. Sure to be doing her best work late from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Turning Circle each way.
