BUSY AT WORK NATIONAL APPRENTICE RACE SERIES Class 1 Plate 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 10m Entire. (Pent: 5.85).  

Lots of early speed predominantly from Hell And Back, Squeak and Too Much Makeup. LUBRICATION (3) has raced in Listed and Group company but disappointed first-up here from a wide barrier (vet cleared). Prepared to forgive that and he has 2kgs weight relief today with the claimer going on for Orman. Fitter and he can get back on track. PIVOTAL LAD (7) resumes for the top barn off a comfortable Maiden win at Eagle Farm on debut. Has the rail and is sure to have come on. Expect him to be right in the finish. Stablemate HELL AND BACK (6) led and won his Maiden here and then came back and was narrowly beaten in a 65. He will ride the speed and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. ZELGARIA (9) is third-up and has plenty up the sleeve. Has a handy gate and 3kg claim and is worth consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lubrication gets the nod.
