GOING: H(8)

ADAMA MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +5m 1100-450, +3m 450 -WP, True remainder. (Pent: 6.03)  

Percolate, Above The Law and Brannum can set the pace. FLYING GREY (5) launched late from last on the turn with a solid first-up victory over 1350m at Wyong in the soft (5) conditions. Will keep improving as she gets out in trip and can keep the winning momentum going. BRANNUM (4) raced without luck all prep and struggled to see the 1900m out when he dropped out sharply to finish eighth over 1900m at Newcastle. Earlier runs had merit and is proven in the going. POLO (6) underrated filly who can get the campaign back on track third-up. Desperate for this trip now after she went back from the wide gate and failed to run on when twelfth over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Kept fresh and the cross-over nose band goes on. Each way player. ARANESE (10) hard fit for this and placed twice over the 1600m. Gripped on late to secure fourth over 1625m at Wyong. Kept fresh and will be in this for a long way with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,4,6,10.
