GOING: H(9)

GOULBURN SOLDIERS CLUB PROVINCIAL MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 4.75)  

Jared is the probable leader in the small field. MATETE (8) specked in betting at his second run back and failed to stretch out in the going when a disappointing fifth over 1350m at Wyong. Massive effort first up and will take holding out today. STRASSMAN (4) has shown ability in three career runs and shouldn't be a maiden for long. Strong through the line at his second run back on the heavy (8) surface when third over 1300m at Kembla Grange. Blinkers come off and the winkers go on. Look for him late. JARED (5) fourteen-start maiden with an okay fresh record resuming. Finished runner-up at three of his last five outings. Fitted with the two searching trials and gets map favours. Respect. THE IRON STAR (6) looks the best of the rest resuming for his second prep. Fitted with the one 900m trial at Rosehill. Keep safe from the draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Matete and Strassman to fight it out.
