GOING: S(7)

DAILEY FAMILY FUNERALS PROVINCIAL 3YO MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these lining up for the first time. PARALIA (8) strips fitter after a so-so run first up from a long break. Looks much better suited against his own age and up in trip. TILLSTROM (3) has solid trial form and the blinkers applied for race day first time. Despite a wide draw should measure up. IMPRESSIONISM (1) had solid country form prior to a spell and was a trial winner on a wet track recently. Bold return expected. BOHEMIAN ART (4) looks to have early potential after some competitive trial showings of late. Poorly drawn but senior rider steps up. In the mix on debut. MONTEREY MISS (9) worked home well from a wide draw on debut and a low draw gives her more options all round. SUGGESTED PLAY: Paralia each way.
