GOING: G(4)

PROVINCIAL DISTRIBUTORS Maiden Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: +1.5m Entire.  

Future Soldier, He Da Boss and Anxo all possess good speed. FUTURE SOLDIER (6) is a former Victorian who placed here for the new barn off a 60-day freshen, starting $3. He's on a 7-day return and would win this comfortably at best. Keeps the 2kg claim and races forward. MUCHACHO (5) resumes and has shown enough to say he's a chance. He was heavily backed in both his starts and owns a trial win here. Has an awkward gate but a bold return is likely. ANXO (3) resumes at Dalby beaten 2L. He has the blinkers on for the first time and he can jump and run from the inside barrier. SIR SNACKALOT (1) debuts from an inside barrier and just missed here in a recent trial. He has to be kept onside. HE DA BOSS (4) peaks and will be around the mark on what we've seen. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Future Soldier.
