GOING: H(9)

BALTER PROVINCIAL CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 8m 1100m-W/Post. Out 6m Remainder.  

Slick tempo assured from Lights Of Paradise and Able Red leading the charge. LIGHTS OF PARADISE (9) led all the way on debut for a dominant victory over 1300m at Scone on June 11. Has the upside to tackle this tougher contest after returning good figures on debut. NEFERTARI (4) came with a well-timed run after stalking the good tempo when a nose winner over 1300m at Hawkesbury on June 18. Maps well again and Jason Collett keeps the ride. Genuine contender. VEGAS DREAM (6) trained locally and at his top for this. Went out hard in the heavy (8) going before fading late when fourth over 1400m at Newcastle on June 22. Senior rider on and can give a great sight again. MADAM RUPEE (7) sharp form reversal at ($101) when a fast finishing maiden winner over 1200m here on June 20. Finally drawn a decent gate and the extra trip will suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,4,6,7.
