---|---|---|---|---|
A keen contest with Son Of Beebee and Provance leading from Never Give Up. FIGHTING IDOL (2) brings strong relative figures and forget the latest when he was outgraded at Eagle Farm. He missed a nose in a CL5 at the Sunshine Coast prior and that reads well for this. Has a handy 2kg claim and the blinkers on for the first time. PROVANCE (9) has switched to the Currie stable on a 17-day return. He has also been racing in better company, and two back was only beaten 2L in a Sunshine Coast CL3. Maps for a soft run and has some key gear changes. NEVER GIVE UP (3) resumes and has won 3/4 fresh. His form tapered off at the back on his previous campaign, but he's good enough and a bold return is likely. SILVER CITY (4) resumes for Currie and two back won a 70 here, on-pace. Proven fresh and has a 2kg claimer aboard. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Fighting Idol.
