GOING: S(7)

XXXX GOLD BM65 Handicap 1350m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 8.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.05).  

Strong early tempo with Ellibaby using the inside alley joined by the speedy Wasted Youth. ELLIBABY (6) is a promising mare from the sharp Vandyke stable. Lifted his figures beaten a nose here second-up in stronger grade heavily bet. Fitter again and Maloney stays aboard and will use the inside barrier. The one to beat. Gollan-trained WASTED YOUTH (14) is a leader who will make short work of the awkward barrier. Won a CL1 comfortably at Eagle Farm first-up and is sure to keep improving. She'll carry just 53kgs with Lang's claim. BETTER BE NORDY (1) was plain last time but the form prior was solid. Comes back in grade and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Trifecta claims. SKYWRITER (10) has more to give second up and the gun hoop rides. She should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Ellibaby.
