GOING: S(6)

TERRY MARSKELL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: +9m 1000m-W/Post, +7m Remainder .  

Genuine tempo from Deprivation leading Mogul Monarch. KING OF ROSEAU (8) strips fitter for this and he finds a winnable race. Returned good figures when a slashing fourth over 1100m at Warwick Farm. Maps well and looks to have come back much stronger this time in. PIASTRI (3) comes off a 42-day let-up and should finally get conditions to suit. Chipped away late after a long break when sixth over 1000m at the Gold Coast. Proven second up and at this distance. Leading prospect. STEP ASIDE (6) returns from a nine week break with solid fresh figures. Well placed in this company and wasn't asked to do much when seventh in a 900m Rosehill trial. Sure to be strong late. MOGUL MONARCH (4) improving gelding who can turn it around from the better draw. Place claims best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of Roseau and Piastri to fight it out.
