GOING: S(6)

O'BRIENS CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Tempo strong with Keynes Time and Far Too Hot pushing forward from their wide draws. REWARD WITH A ROSE (8) knuckled down gamely to get the verdict when resuming in testing conditions at the Sapphire Coast. Improvement to come and she is well-placed for another bold showing. DUPLI KATE (9) also returned a winner at the latest when making light work of her rivals at Albury. Expecting her to come on with that run under the belt and is drawn favourably. Main danger. DEVINE OUTCAST (7) returns for the R & L Price camp. Showed positive signs in her debut prep and strips fitter for a soft Kembla Grange trial in readiness. Should race prominently from the inside alley and is well-placed to make her presence felt. MERCHANT REIGN (4) progressed sharply second-up when leading pillar-to-post at Nowra. Plenty to like about that performance and he warrants plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Reward With A Rose.
