GOING: S(6)

BLAKES MARINE MIDWAY CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 5m 1100m-450m. True Remainder. (Pent: 6.07).  

From the wide draw Inquisitive Legend can cross and set up a solid tempo. INQUISITIVE LEGEND (6) at her top now and has had no luck with the barriers this time in. A month between runs when tired late after dictating early to finish fourth over 1300m here on May 23. Tongue-tie goes on and brings the strongest figures here. BIG SHOOTER (4) won well two back before having no luck from the wide gate when sixth over 1300m on May 30. Expecting more today from the good draw. STRUFF (5) resumed from a six month break when ran on late to secure fourth over 1000m here on May 30. Goes just as well second-up and stays in the mix. AMIGOS NO MORE (13) sound return from a lengthy break when a tough second over 1200m at Kembla Grange on May 28. Claim helps again and stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inquisitive Legend to win.
