Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp journey. RUBI'S SERVE (10) has raced just twice and impressed on both occasions, most recently beaten half a length over 1200m here. Progressive filly who should race up on the speed and prove tough to catch. MOGUL MONARCH (12) finished second to a very smart type on debut a fortnight ago over 1100m at Gosford. Will improve off that run and the extra distance is sure to be to his advantage. HYDROMETER (7) used the inside gate to lead and gave a sight before tiring to finish third when facing the starter for the first time last start over 1200m at this circuit. Will be prominent for a long way again. FIFTH FORCE (6) is in the mix first-up from a break with the help of the inside barrier. Waller's debutant CAPTAIN FURAI (4) won a recent trial in good style and has been well found in early markets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rubi's Serve to break through.

BUFFETT
CHRIS WALLER 3YO BAY GELDING 58.0KG Rockingham Thoroughbreds (Mgr: J A Ingham) Three-year-old gelding (Capitalist - Laucala) will no doubt benefit from the five trials leading in today's debut. Last trial fifth at Rosehill in a 900m trial on March 18. In leading stable, seems forward enough, so don't underestimate him. |
