GOING: G(4)

KIA EVENING STAR 1250m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.90)  

Moderate tempo anticipated without a noted leader to run them along. UNION ARMY (3) enigmatic gelding resuming and has the ability to sprint well fresh in this easier grade. Failed to get into the contest when eighth to the speedy Willaidow over 1200m in BM78 grade on August 10. Fitted with two solid trials and the tongue tie comes off here. Strong winning chance. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (10) has a fitness edge over most of these and will appreciate the weight drop in this stronger assignment after running fourth over 1200m at Kembla Grange on November 5. Can give plenty of cheek. DEMIANA (4) underrated mare who returns from a layoff of four months. Has excellent figures over this course and trip and was not asked to do much when second in a recent 850m trial. Sure to figure prominently. IMATRUESTAR (5) Taree trained gelding who surprised at big odds when a fast finishing fourth behind Spanish Fox over 1300m at Rosehill last time out. Claim helps and can add value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Union Army each-way.
