GOING: H(8)

THE AGENCY CIVIC STAKES 1400m

Track: HEAVY8   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.01).  

Plenty of pace with Tamerlane and Rise Of The Masses all pushing forward from their low draws. Listed race deferred from last Saturday. RISE OF THE MASSES (15) dead heated with the in-form Fall For Cindy first-up over this distance at Hawkesbury then pulled up quickly over a mile at Randwick last time in a run worth forgiving. Trialled well since and back to this trip off a 32-day let-up can make amends. STRAIT ACER (4) is Group One placed at this distance. Made late ground without threatening in the Group 3 BRC Sprint over 1350m at Doomben last time. Struggling to find his peak this prep but the addition of blinkers today might add some spark. DIAMOND DIESEL (12) is up in grade but couldn't have been more impressive last start when successful over this journey at Randwick. Worth an each-way investment. GRAVINA (9) is cherry ripe and drops sharply in the weights so don't write him off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rise Of The Masses each-way.
