GOING: G(4)

SHAY BRENNAN CONSTRUCTION MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Soobring It, I'm Opinionated and Zecchini can set the pace. SILENT SERENADE (3) lightly raced filly who resumes without a trial. Finished in the minor money at both runs here last time in and will take stopping today from the good draw. SCATPAK (6) resumes after frustrating the stable in three runs last preparation. Blinkers come off and expect to see him hold a forward position from the inside gate. SNOWBALL (11) bounced back quickly over the 800m when third at Narromine. Blinkers come off and senior rider goes on. ZECCHINI (5) nice filly close to getting off the mark. Nailed late after working hard early from the outside gate when second over 1280m on the heavy track at Muswellbrook. Back without a trial and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silent Serenade finds her race.
