GOING: H(9)

KURRINDA BLOODSTOCK MAIDEN HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 4.75)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Dwayne leading the way. Chris Waller has a strong hand in the race with two leading contenders engaged. DWAYNE (2) back in trip with a solid foundation at his fifth run in today. Never comfortable in the heavy (10) going when a fading third over 1890m at Newcastle. Will push forward again from the low draw and take holding out. MALBORK CASTLE (4) returned from a five-month break with a tenacious second carrying the 60.5kg over 1300m at Canberra. Looks in for a good prep and will keep improving as he gets out in trip. Blinkers can do the trick with the solid tempo. BARBRAY (1) big class drop today and comes out of a strong race after finishing a sound fourth to Dark Arts over 1550m at Canterbury. Capable of finishing over the top of these. THE BEAST (3) chipped away late first up with the 59kg when a slogging third over 1500m at Newcastle in the heavy (10) going. Leading rider booked and shouldn't be a maiden for long. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dwayne to go close.
