GOING: G(4)

RAY WHITE GYMPIE RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 6.45).  

No recognised leader on paper but Hamiso has the pace to take it up despite a wide gate. DECEMBER DIAMOND (7) has placed at the past couple and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Looks a serious player. MRS GOSSIP (14) put in an improved effort when having her first run for the new stable and any market confidence must be noted. HAYAKU (1) saves his best form for this distance range and gets 1.5kg off with the claim. In the mix. HELL OF A PRINCE (16) strips fitter second-up from the spell and is next in line with no weight on his back. SUGGESTED PLAY: December Diamond to win.
